Association of Electricity Producers

The Association of Electricity Producers (AEP) represents large, medium and small companies accounting for more than 95 per cent of the UK generating capacity, together with a number of businesses that provide equipment and services to the generating industry. Between them, the members embrace all of the generating technologies used commercially in the UK, from coal, gas and nuclear power, to a wide range of renewable energies. Members operate in a competitive electricity market and have a keen interest in its success, as well as delivering secure and sustainable electricity. The Association works closely with government and regulators to help increase policy-makers understanding of the issues faced by the generating industry and tackle barriers to new investment.
