Preface

• The present analysis has been undertaken in collaboration with the European
Electricity TSOs.

• The presentation illustrates Area-codes (Y-Codes) representing control blocks

which are currently or in future in use within the European markets.

• The presentation does not display:

o Y-Codes that are already displayed in the EIC map directly synchronized with
CIO tool on ENTSO-E website: it includes Y-Codes representing member
state, scheduling areas, control areas, market balance areas, bidding zones,
synchronized areas.
o Y-Codes which are currently used in the ENTSO-E RGCE (regional group
continental Europe) settlement and accounting process.

• This list of Y-Codes can be subject to further updates in the future, e.g.
depending on changes in area structures at national level.
