Why is it necessary to obtain the EIC code of type X?

This code is required to supply electricity to consumers, as well as to resale electricity.

The code is required due to the fact that:

  • The electricity supplier and trader in the new electricity market is the party that is legally and financially responsible for any imbalance between electricity nominated and consumed at all related metering points. Therefore, when signing an electricity imbalance settlement agreement, one of the mandatory details to be specified there is the EIC code of type X.  
  • This code is required to be specified when signining the Transmission Service Agreement with Ukrenergo NPC SE. 

Interesting! These codes are also issued to consumers. However, the EIC codes are assigned to them by the Distribution System Operator when concluding Electricity Distribution Services Agreement.
