The Edison Electric Institute (EEI) is the association that represents all U.S. investor-owned electric companies. Our members provide electricity for nearly 250 million Americans, and operate in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. As a whole, the electric power industry supports more than 7 million jobs in communities across the United States. In addition to our U.S. members, EEI has more than 70 international electric companies, as International Members, and hundreds of industry suppliers and related organizations as Associate Members.

Organized in 1933, EEI provides public policy leadership, strategic business intelligence, and essential conferences and forums.

To join the EEI Associate Program, your organization must have an interest in advancing the development of the electric power industry, but cannot be engaged in generation, transmission, distribution, sale, or brokerage of electricity. Annual dues are based upon your firm's revenues, and begin at $4,000.

Membership application

While the membership is officially approved by the EEI Board of Directors at their quarterly meeting, we can activate the membership and benefits within two days of receiving the application.

Associate Members receive immediate benefits in the form of Insight, Access, and Visibility.

No portion of Associate dues is used for lobbying.

No. Conference registration fees are a separate expense for all U.S. electric company, International Affiliate, and Associate members. Many meetings offer a significant discount to Associate Members, or they are not open to the public, but only to EEI members.

Beginning in 2020, all memberships are being moved to a calendar-year dues schedule (Jan. 1 – Dec. 31). New members joining mid-year will receive a prorated invoice for the remainder of their first year, and will then transition to a calendar-year schedule the following January. Membership renewal invoices will be sent each January.
