The Electricity Association of Ireland (EAI) is the representative body for the electricity industry and gas retail sector operating within the Single Electricity Market (SEM) on the island of Ireland.

We believe this can be achieved, in the overall interest of society, through competitive markets that foster investment and innovation.
