Through the PPA, Active members pool their resources and expertise for their common benefit and gain international
representation and improved access to international power sector assistance programmes. In addition, the direct
links that the PPA provides between the private sector and utility members are designed to improve private sector
services to member utilities and make the private sector members’ presence in a geographically difficult marketing
region more productive. Allied members presently include Australian, American, Canadian, European, Japanese,
New Zealand, Singapore, and Pacific based companies marketing generation, transmission and distribution plant,
tools and equipment; cables; transformers; electrical control equipment and other power industry related products
as well as engineering and business services.
The PPA is thus designed to improve the access of all members to the considerable resources and the expertise that
exists in the region and around the world for the development of the Pacific islands power sector, and to take on the
administrative responsibility of ensuring that all members are adequately served.

The PPA 28th Annual Conference, 2019, held in Cook Islands.
