Membership

The Electricity Association of Ireland (EAI) is the representative body for the electricity industry and gas retail sector operating within the Single Energy Market (SEM) on the Island of Ireland.

Our membership comprises utilities that represent 90% of generation and retail business activities and 100% of distribution within the market. Our members range in size from single plant operators and independent suppliers to international power utilities.

Electricity has a fundamental role in providing energy services in a decarbonised future, in particular through the progressive electrification of transport and heating. We believe that this can be achieved, in the overall interest of society, through competitive markets that support customer preference and sustainable investment. We promote this vision through constructive engagement with key policy, regulatory, technology and academic stakeholders both at domestic and EU levels.
