Operational Information at Fluxys Belgium - Transmission

In order to subscribe capacity services at Fluxys Belgium, a party must follow the 5 steps process to become a shipper.

Once registered as a shipper, requests for capacity services can be submitted and at the same time shipper can prepare its operational readiness.

 

Get your Energy Identification Code (EIC)

The EIC codes are used for the official and unambiguous identification of the actors (TSO, Shipper, Trader, Producer, Exchange platform operator, ...) and points (IP, GEL, balancing zone, domestic outlet, ..).

The idea is to harmonize and standardize electronic communication through unique energy identification codes that are used on the ENTSOE and ENTSOG Transparency platforms, in AS2 and AS4 communications, in Edig@s messages, for Remit and PRISMA.

Fluxys is recognized as Local Issuing Office (LIO) and can grant local EIC codes.

Set-up your edig@s connection

Edig@s is the electronic message standard for the gas market, enables gas actors from across Europe to exchange information in a simple, efficient and cost-effective way. Edig@s covers the major gas processes and responds to the needs of the major user segments (Traders, Shippers, TSOs, SSOs, LSOs, DSOs, Producers).

The Edig@s specifications make use of internationally recognised information interchange standards. Edig@s is freely available and easy to implement. The European Commission recognised the value that the use of Edig@s can bring for the harmonisation of the European gas market.

• The available templates,
• Relevant information about how the different messages are set up, and
