Spanish Association for Energy Economics

What Spanish Association for Energy Economics does

Spanish Association for Energy Economics (Asociación Española para la Economía Energética, AEEE) is a non-profit professional association founded on April 29, 2004 in Vigo, Spain, and registered in the National Associations Registry (number 172697). It operates as the official Spanish affiliate of the International Association for Energy Economics (IAEE), with a stated mission to facilitate professional communication and the exchange of ideas on energy economics, disseminate knowledge to society, and foster international cooperation in the field.

AEEE's core products are professional community and convening services rather than technology products. These include an annual national congress (running since 2006, with the XXI edition scheduled for May 2026 in Pamplona co-organized with Universidad de Navarra and Universidad Pública de Navarra), technical workshops (jornadas técnicas) on topics such as renewable energy, energy poverty, and European energy packages, webinars on emerging issues, an annual awards program for undergraduate, master's, and doctoral theses in energy economics, and a Youth Section (created June 2012) for students and young professionals under 35. The association also serves as a bridge to IAEE international publications and resources for its members.

The business model is a subscription-based membership model layered with corporate sponsorship. Individual members pay €60/year (AEEE national only) or €110/year (bundled with IAEE international affiliation), while students and young professionals pay €25 or €55 respectively. Corporate sponsorship tiers are anchored by three Socios Patronos — Red Eléctrica de España, Iberdrola, and Ferrovial — supplemented by institutional partners including FEDEA, BC3 (Basque Centre for Climate Change), EDP, Factor CO2 / Global Factor, and Tecnalia. The association is governed by a Directive Board elected for four-year terms and is tax-recognized as a non-profit and autonomous social organization (Tax-Payer number G36937779).

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• International Association for Energy Economics (IAEE): Global parent organization of which AEEE is the Spanish affiliate. Operates at international scale on the same core mission — advancing energy economics research, publications, and conferences — and serves as AEEE's gateway to worldwide membership and content.

Regional players

• Associação Portuguesa de Economia da Energia (APEEN): Portuguese sister association for energy economics; AEEE and APEEN jointly organized the XI Annual Congress in 2016, the most direct evidence of cross-Iberian collaboration and structural equivalence.
• Club Español de la Energía (Enerclub): Madrid-based Spanish energy industry association with a broader industry mandate than AEEE's academic focus; collaborates with AEEE on joint events such as the EU Winter Package workshop and competes for the same corporate sponsors and policymakers.

Direct peers

• US Association for Energy Economics (USAEE): US IAEE affiliate that mirrors AEEE's structure: a national energy-economics association running an annual North American conference, awards, and publications for members from academia, industry, and government.

Others

• Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3): Scientific research center on climate change that partners with AEEE on research projects (e.g., EU H2020 TRANSrisk) and summer schools. Adjacent in mission — climate-economics research — and shares academic and policy audiences with AEEE.
• FEDEA (Fundación de Estudios de Economía Aplicada): Madrid-based economic research foundation that collaborates with AEEE on energy-economics research and events. Broader remit than AEEE but overlapping energy-policy research output and audience.
