Industry and Professional Association

Membership bodies representing companies, engineers or the wider energy sector rather than a single national government, including trade and industry associations such as the American Petroleum Institute, the World Nuclear Association and the International Hydropower Association, professional and standards bodies such as CIGRE and the IEEE Power and Energy Society, the industry-funded Electric Power Research Institute, and the World Energy Council as a global multi-stakeholder network. Belongs here: an association whose members are companies, professionals or a mixed multi-stakeholder membership pursuing a shared industry or professional interest. Does not belong here: a body whose members are national governments, grouped under Intergovernmental Organization; a government-run research facility, grouped under National Laboratory.
