Association of Electricity Producers
- Association of Electricity Producers
The Association of Electricity Producers is a trade association for the United Kingdom electricity market. It has approximately 90 members, including electricity generation companies and those offering support services.
The Association was founded in 1987 as the Association of Independent Electricity Producers, with the initial remit of lobbying the UK government's Department of Energy to remove restrictions on private companies operating within the electricity industry. The idea for the AIEP came from David Andrews who was an engineer promoting small scale Combined Heat and Power - mini- CHP who was frustrated by the blatant attempts of the then CEGB to manipulate the market against mini-CHP. He called the first meeting held at Orchard Partners in London, then also active in promoting CHP, with John Macadam of Orchard Partner's and Martin Alder then of Wessex Water and Trevor Dooley of Elecrical Review who provided valuable initial publicity. Early on Andrews suggested that a contact, David Porter who had a small desk top publishing business provide a newletter - Porter went on to become the Director and Chief Executive.The early goal was achieved with the passing of the Electricity Act in 1989, and the subsequent full privatisation of the industry (with the exception of nuclear power).
In 1995, recognising that little remained from which the organisation could be "independent", it changed its name to the Association of Electricity Producers. In 1999 it moved to its current offices in London SW1.
The Association currently employs 13 staff. Its President is Sir Michael Spicer MP, and the Chairman of the Board is Tony Cocker.
