Austria (AT) bidding zone
Separated from the German bidding zone in October 2018. Substantial reservoir and pumped hydro means the Austrian stack has a real storage component, and its marginal price reflects a scheduling decision rather than a fuel cost more often than most Continental zones.

The Energy Identification Code is the in_Domain / out_Domain value that identifies this zone in a pan-European market query. Verify it against the official EIC registry before relying on it: several countries publish aliased bidding-zone, control-area and market-balance-area domains, and the correct one depends on what is being asked for.

Neighbours are day-ahead coupling topology only: no capacity and no direction. They are what the reconstruction uses to derive a coupling reference price for modelled net imports, and they are not a substitute for allocated cross-zonal capacity, which is not yet ingested.
