United States Energy Association

What United States Energy Association does

United States Energy Association (USEA) is a nonprofit, apolitical, nonlobbying association founded in 1924 and headquartered in Washington, DC, that serves as a neutral convening forum for the U.S. energy industry and its international partners. The organization has 129 member organizations spanning utilities, energy producers, and related stakeholders, and operates a portfolio of programs including the Energy Utility Partnership Program (EUPP), the CCUS CONSENSUS Program (in cooperative agreement with the DOE Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management), the International and Domestic Consensus on Oil and Natural Gas program, Energy Security Across Europe and Eurasia, the Asia EDGE Indo-Pacific Energy Market Investment and Modernization (EMIM) program, and the AmpUp utility partnership program. In partnership with the U.S. Government — primarily USAID and the Department of Energy — USEA supports energy development across 104 countries, expanding access to safe, affordable, and sustainable energy.

USEA's product surface consists of convening and educational programming rather than technology products: an annual State of the Energy Industry Forum, monthly Virtual Press Briefings (launched October 2020), the USEA Power Sector Podcast, regional workshops, an extensive publications library covering CCUS, coal, critical minerals, oil and gas, and renewable integration, and a CCUS/CCS Academic Curriculum. The organization has conducted more than 250 U.S. events since 2010, supports 14 languages across its international programs, and earns earned-media coverage in Forbes, POLITICO, The Guardian, S&P Global Platts, and Utility Dive.

The revenue model is membership-dues based and supplemented by U.S. Government grants and cooperative agreements; specific dues tiers and financial figures are not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is event-driven and relationship-driven, with member acquisition occurring through programmatic work, government partnerships, and convening activities. The organization is led by President & CEO Mark W. Menezes, appointed in May 2023.
