Who are CIGRE members?
CIGRE includes 2 categories of members :
  • Individual members in the engineering, teaching or other individuals involved in the Industry (lawyers, regulators...). Young members, aged under 35, pay only half the fee for their 2 first years of individual membership (Students benefit until 35, without limit of years)
  • Collective members who consist of public or private Companies, industrial and/or commercial character, scientific Organisations, research Institutes, educational bodies,...
CIGRE counts members in more than 80 countries; countries with a high CIGRE membership may set up National Committees (NCs). NCs act as a relay for the local members and promote the activities of CIGRE.
End of 2008, worldwide CIGRE membership was:
1078 Collective Members
5575 Individual Members (out of which 491 young members)
