Welcome to the website of ebIX

The purpose of ebIX, the European forum for energy Business Information eXchange, is to advance, develop and standardise the use of electronic information exchange in the energy industry.

The main focus is on interchanging administrative data for the internal European markets for electricity and gas. ebIX shall also cover the needs both for the wholesale market (upstream) and the retail market (downstream).

ebIX will follow the rules of the European Union where applicable.

EBIX® TRADE MARK

ebIX® is a registered Community Trade Mark. All rights belong to the European forum for energy Business Information eXchange and members of the organization. The Community Trade Mark is a sign which serves to distinguish the ebIX® services from those of other organisations. The trade mark refers to the graphic representation of the ebIX® name and logo. The registering of ebIX® as a trade mark has three essential functions:

• it identifies the origin of the ebIX® services
• it guarantees consistent quality by showing ebIX® commitment to its users
• it is a form of communication, a basis for publicity and advertising

Trade mark registration is one of the strongest ways to defend a brand; a way to ensure that no one else uses it. If we hadn’t registered our trade mark, others might have done so and acquired our rights to the services. A strong trade mark creates an identity, builds trust, distinguishes us from the competition, and makes communication between ebIX® and our users simpler.
