EI Knowledge

EI Knowledge is the centre for energy knowledge at the EI. We provide accurate and balanced energy information to support your work or studies. We also carry out our own research and engage EI members to create new sources of information and inform energy policy.

We are continuously updating to our resources, and aim to cover topics across the energy system. This curation and creation of new resources is overseen by the Energy Advisory Panel (EAP). The EAP is made up of senior EI members and stakeholders whose collective expertise covers the breadth of the energy system. Reporting to the EI’s governing council, the EAP also manages topic-specific sub committees. If you’re interested in joining EAP, please contact us.

Examples of knowledge projects overseen by EAP include the Energy Barometer, the podcast Energy in Conversation, and our Energy Essentials Guide to Hydrogen.

EIKS enables EI members to apply their expertise to improve the energy system through a programme of engagement. We work with policy makers, industry partners, and the research community to share the views and knowledge of our members. Opportunities for EI members to engage with the EIKS include:

  • Participating in the annual Energy Barometer survey

  • Responding to policy consultations

  • Joining Energy Advisory Panel, Energy Management Panel, Behaviour Change Working Group, or other subject-specific networks

  • Suggesting topics for new knowledge projects or research collaboration

  • Joining the conversation on Twitter


You can also engage with the EI more widely (please log in for full access):

This website is a catalogue of all the information we hold. Most resources are available online, though some items catalogued here are physical resources located in the EI library in London. Many of these can be loaned via post, or excerpts can be scanned upon request. Search for specific terms through the bar at the top of every page, or browse by topic through the Collections.

EI Knowledge is here to guide you to resources, answer queries, and listen to your input. You can contact us by email or chat (an orange bar will display on the bottom right corner of all website pages when the team is available).
