The Energy Institute, commonly referred to as EI, is the professional body for the energy industry in the UK. It claims to deliver good practice and professionalism across the depth and breadth of the sector. The EI is the leading chartered professional membership body for the energy industry, supporting over 19,000 individuals working in or studying energy and 250 companies worldwide. The EI provides learning and networking opportunities to support professional development, as well as professional recognition and technical and scientific knowledge resources on energy in all its forms and applications.
A Royal Charter membership organisation, the Energy Institute provides a wealth of expertise in energy matters, serving as a home for energy professionals and a scientific and technical reservoir for industry. It is licensed by the Engineering Council to offer Chartered, Incorporated and Engineering Technician status to engineers and also by the Science Council and Society for the Environment to offer registration as Chartered Scientist and Chartered Environmentalist. The EI is an international organisation serving its members in around 80 countries.
The EI has over 19,000 members around the world. It was formed in 2003 from a merger between the Institute of Petroleum and the Institute of Energy. The formation of the EI reflects the increasing convergence of various sectors of the UK energy industry. The EI offers three pre professional grades of membership: Affiliate, Graduate and Student, along with a selection of professional grades. The professional grades are: Fellow (FEI), Fellow Chartered Engineer (CEng FEI), Fellow Chartered Scientist (CSci FEI), Member (MEI), Member Chartered Engineer (CEng MEI), Member Chartered Scientist (CSci MEI) Member or Fellow and Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv MEI or FEI), Technician Member (TMEI) and Technician Member Engineering Technician (EngTech TMEI).
2014 marks 100 years since the EI’s oldest founding institution was formed. The centenary celebrations throughout 2014 will focus on the theme of ‘Looking back to look forward’ and will include a series of high-profile interviews and articles, reflecting on the energy industry’s crucial contribution to society over the years and how the past can inform the future. Members will also share their own recollections of key milestones in the history of the sector.
