In their own words

“UPEI represents nearly 2,000 European importers and wholesale/retail distributors of energy for the transport and heating sectors, supplying Europe’s customers independently of the major energy producers.”

“They are the interface between producers and consumers, using their own infrastructure and flexibility to supply existing demand for conventional and renewable liquid fuels, as well as non-liquid alternatives as part of the energy transition. They cover more than a third of Europe’s current demand. The organisation brings together national associations and suppliers across Europe. Independent suppliers bring competition to Europe’s energy market and respond rapidly to changes affecting supply, contributing to security on a local, national, and regional level. They have developed and maintain a comprehensive infrastructure for the sourcing, storage, and distribution of transport and heating fuels, delivering a high-quality service to all consumers, including those in remote areas.”
