European electricity bidding zones
38 bidding zones across 24 European countries: 21 EU member states, plus Great Britain, Norway and Switzerland.
Why zones, not countries
Day-ahead prices are quoted per bidding zone. A country can contain several zones; Germany and Luxembourg share one. Zone pages show identifiers, currency, neighbours and coverage.

What each zone page carries
The EIC (Energy Identification Code) domain code that identifies the zone in a pan-European market query, the IANA timezone its delivery day is defined in, the currency its day-ahead price clears in, its directly interconnected neighbours, and which of TradingSurv’s data streams reach it.
EIC codes are worth stating plainly because they are what an API call actually needs and they are not memorable. Verify any of them against the official EIC registry before relying on it in production: some countries carry several aliased domains (bidding zone, control area and market balance area) and the right one depends on the query.
