EURELECTRIC in Brief

The Union of the Electricity Industry - EURELECTRIC is the professional association representing the common interests of the electricity industry at pan-European level, plus its affiliates and associates on several other continents.

Within the European Union, EURELECTRIC represents the electricity industry in public affairs, in particular in relation to the EU legislative institutions in order to promote the interests of its Members at a political level.

As a centre of strategic expertise, EURELECTRIC identifies and represents the common interests of its Members and assists them in formulating common solutions to be implemented, and in coordinating and carrying out the necessary actions.

To that end it also acts in liaison with other international associations and organisations, recognising the specific missions and responsibilities of these organisations.

EURELECTRIC also works in liaison with a number of organisations whose technical expertise supports and assists EURELECTRIC’s strategic analysis and policy work.

EURELECTRIC's overall mission is to contribute to the development and competitiveness of the electricity industry and to promote the role of electricity in the advancement of society.

EURELECTRIC's core membership structure is based on national representation. Currently there are 33 Full Members, including all 27 EU Member States, current applicants negotiating to join the EU, plus other European OECD countries.

Membership is enriched by European and International Affiliate Members representing the electricity industry across the rest of Europe, in the Mediterranean basin and on other continents.

Business Associate Members from other sectors with stakeholder links to, or interest in the electricity industry, complete the EURELECTRIC membership.
