ERIN (Energy Retail Information Network)

ERIN is an NLP tool designed to assist users in navigating and querying the REC. However, it has its limitations. Users must use ERIN alongside the REC and not as a replacement. For clarity, REC Parties must rely on the REC legal text for their obligations.
All interactions with ERIN are logged by the Code Manager to improve its performance. While all data within ERIN is publicly available and not used to influence future responses, please refrain from submitting any personal information.

For more details, see the list of documents included in this model here.

The Code Manager is hosting an ERIN (Energy Retail Information Network) Webinar on 01 April 2025 (10:00 -11:00).

This webinar will give an overview of ERIN’s features, along with practical tips and insights on how to make the most of its capabilities, ensuring Parties can quickly and easily access REC-based information.
