I'm not sure how these codes could benefit OSM. They seem to be mostly
for use in transactions between entities such as TSO's and would have
little public interest, even for power grid 'nerds' like me.
Further, from where would you get these codes (with an odbl compatible
license)? I have never seen such codes used on public websites of TSO's
and power companies. And I don't think they label substations, power
plants with such codes at the gates so you can't get them from surveys.

Hi all,
I've just discovered a document published by ENTSO-E which is the
European authority for power Transmission System Operators (like RTE in
France or TenneT in Germany :
https://www.entsoe.eu/about-entso-e/inside-entso-e/member-companies/Pages/default.aspx)
This document summarizes a couple of principles for power system
elements codification.

I think it would be great to introduce the key ref:EU:EIC to tag
transmission power lines, power plant or transmission power substation
with it.
These codes seem to be unique all around Europe and they would allow us
to sustainably identify a lot of features (instead of using the OSM ID
only).
I only found one instance of eic_code=* on taginfo which actually
concern a feature located in Czech Republic (they do have a wikipedia
page for it http://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/EIC_k%C3%B3d)
If everyone agree about the key, I may add it to the Power Transmission
Refinement proposal

All the best
