Associate Members

Founded in 1984, the Associate Members Program represents the region's leading energy and technology providers and contributes invaluable expertise on the economic and social implication of federal and state energy and environmental policies. These activities are integral to providing a balanced and responsible approach to environmental regulation that is economical and efficient.

The Associate Members gather frequently throughout the year to address such issues as federal energy and environmental policy and also have addressed matters including the re-emergence of the nuclear industry, grid modernization, state responses to energy emergencies, energy security, low-income home energy assistance, air quality, carbon management, natural gas supply and infrastructure, water for energy, and state energy and environmental legislation.
