Asociación Electrotécnica Peruana

What Asociación Electrotécnica Peruana does

Asociación Electrotécnica Peruana (AEP) is a private non-profit professional association founded in 1943 and headquartered in Jesús María, Lima, Peru. It serves individuals and organizations linked to the electricity, electronics, telecommunications, and hydrocarbons sectors, with primary user groups comprising electrical and mechanical-electrical engineers, engineering students, and collective corporate members such as Electroperú and ELCIN. Its mission centers on the dissemination of technological advances in those sectors and the continuous professional development of the Peruvian electrical engineering community.

AEP's core offerings are educational and community-based: technical specialty courses (e.g., transmission lines, substations, grounding systems, building automation), technical seminars (e.g., economic dispatch in power systems), technical visits to partner laboratories such as CITE Energía LAB and Metro Lima Line 2, a professional journal called Revista Electrotécnica, an interview series ("Conociendo al Ing."), and the annual Premio ELEKTRÓN award. Training is delivered both in-person at the AEP auditorium and virtually via Zoom, with certificates delivered digitally and validated via QR code. The association draws on a network of strategic partnerships — most notably a mutual relationship with IEEE and tool/integration collaborations with Schneider Electric, REJYRA, PROMELSA, CITE Energía, and INACAL.

AEP generates revenue through three streams: recurring membership fees (S/. 40 for student aspirant members; S/. 150 for active and transient professionals), training course and seminar fees priced by tier (S/. 100-140 for students/AEP-IEEE members, S/. 150-210 for professional members, S/. 200-350 for the general public), and event participation fees such as S/. 140-150 anniversary dinner tickets. Distribution and marketing run primarily through its website, email newsletter, and social media channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest), with registration handled by email and phone/WhatsApp. Governed by an elected Junta Directiva, AEP operates with 8 employees, has been led by 43 presidents across its 83-year history, and is concentrated almost entirely in a single-country, domestic Peruvian market.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• IEEE Power & Energy Society: IEEE's flagship society for power engineers, focused on electrical power generation, transmission, and distribution education and standards. AEP maintains a reciprocal member-discount partnership with IEEE, positioning it as both peer and partner.
• Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET): International professional body serving engineers across electrical, electronic and related disciplines, offering publications, training, and standards engagement — structurally analogous to AEP for a broader geography.
• CIGRE (International Council on Large Electric Systems): Global technical community for power systems, organizing conferences, working groups, and training on transmission and substations — directly overlapping with AEP's flagship course topics (transmission lines, substations, power quality).

Broad incumbents

• National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE): US national organization representing licensed professional engineers across all disciplines. Operates at a much larger scale than AEP but plays the same structural role — professional development, advocacy, and publications — for its geography.

Regional players

• Colegio de Ingenieros del Perú (CIP): Peru's national professional engineering society with a broader disciplinary scope than AEP. Both organizations serve Peruvian engineers, share members, and participate in national engineering policy discussions, competing for similar individual members.
• Sociedad Nacional de Minería, Petróleo y Energía (SNMPE): Peru's leading mining, petroleum and energy industry association with overlapping corporate members and competing for the same corporate training and sponsorship budgets across the broader energy ecosystem.

Others

• Schneider Electric Energy University: Vendor-led training platform offering free certifications on electrical distribution, building automation, and power systems. AEP partners with Schneider Electric for instructor-led courses but also competes for the same Peruvian engineering audience.
