The Philippine Independent Power Producers Association, Inc. (PIPPA) is a professional organization of independent power producers (IPPs) working to provide adequate, reliable, and affordable supply of electricity to Filipino homes and industries.
Formed on November 15, 1995, PIPPA provides an avenue for its member-IPPs to exchange information on policies affecting the electric power industry. It also serves as the industry’s voice in advancing public policy that will be beneficial not only for its members but, more importantly, for the Filipino consumers.
From a group of nine power firms responsible for the organization’s creation, PIPPA has now grown into an association of 28 companies engaged in power generation. Collectively, PIPPA’s members have 82.8% (13,549.40MW) of grid installed capacity and serve millions of Filipinos in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

Through the years, PIPPA has been an advocate of a more robust Philippine electric power industry through an empowered independent power production industry, and remains committed to its core objectives:
• To promote the common interests and growth of the independent power production industry and their consumers, as well as those of the related and support industries;
• To promote a forum for those in the power sector to share and discuss common concerns and other issues so the same can be addressed from the sectoral viewpoint; and
- To develop a constructive and closer relationship between the members of the Association and pertinent government institutions including the Department of Energy, Energy Regulatory Commission, Department of Finance, Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp., Philippine Electricity Market Corp., and National Grid Corporation of the Philippines, among others.
