Founded in 1924, the United States Energy Association (USEA) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, and non-lobbying organization that serves as a neutral forum for dialogue across the global energy sector. USEA’s mission rests on two pillars: first, convening stakeholders to exchange insights on policy, regulation, science, technology and finance to advance reliable, affordable energy for economic growth and prosperity; and second, partnering with the U.S. Government, members, and international allies to expand access to U.S. energy resources and technology to strengthen energy security worldwide. 

With over 100 member organizations, USEA’s members include government agencies, utilities, architect and engineering firms, nonprofits, think tanks, academic institutions, Fortune 500 companies, and leading engineering consultancies that span the breadth of energy sources and technology. As an industry convener, USEA provides a trusted, nonpartisan, and technology-neutral forum to inform policy discussions, highlight innovation, and chart pathways for strengthening U.S. energy leadership. USEA also hosts flagship events, webinars, briefings, and workshops to advance dialogue on emerging energy issues.

USEA’s team of international specialists partners with U.S. federal agencies, including the Department of Energy (DOE), Department of State, and other government entities, to strengthen U.S. competitiveness and open opportunities for U.S. businesses in global energy markets, including grid-enhancing technologies, liquified natural gas (LNG) exports, small modular reactors, and cybersecurity.

Partnerships & Programs

USEA has organized over 80 cooperative partnerships between U.S. industry executives and their global counterparts in developing and emerging economies.

Almost every aspect of organizational operations have been addressed through our partnerships.
