Natural Gas Supply Association

What Natural Gas Supply Association does

Natural Gas Supply Association (NGSA) is a U.S. national trade association founded in 1965 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., that serves as the only national association solely focused on producer-marketer issues in the downstream natural gas industry. It represents integrated and independent companies that supply natural gas — including BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell, ConocoPhillips, Equinor, ENGIE, Expand Energy, JERA, NRG Energy, Osaka Gas, and Tenaska — and delivers value through regulatory advocacy before FERC, DOE, CFTC, and EPA, legislative engagement with Capitol Hill, public-affairs communications, and market-intelligence products such as the annual Summer and Winter Outlook reports. The association's policy positions emphasize regulatory certainty, fair rate regulation, infrastructure expansion (in light of a documented 49% demand growth vs 26% pipeline capacity growth since 2013), and the role of natural gas alongside renewables in a reliable, lower-carbon energy mix.

Expansion highlights4 records

Regional players

• Consumer Energy Alliance: Consumer Energy Alliance is a consumer-focused advocacy group supporting affordable and reliable energy, including natural gas. It overlaps with NGSA on grassroots advocacy and pro-infrastructure messaging.
• Edison Electric Institute: EEI represents U.S. investor-owned electric utilities, the largest buyers of natural gas for power generation. It is a comparable peer because NGSA engages with EEI directly through gas-electric reliability coalitions like the Reliability Alliance.
• US Oil and Gas Association: USOGA represents independent oil and natural gas producers with a regional/state focus, particularly in the Southeast and Gulf Coast. It overlaps with NGSA on independent-producer advocacy and upstream regulatory matters.

Broad incumbents

• American Petroleum Institute: API is the largest U.S. trade association for the oil and natural gas industry, covering upstream, midstream, and downstream. It overlaps with NGSA on upstream natural gas producer advocacy and regulatory engagement but operates at a much broader portfolio level.
• American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers: AFPM represents fuel and petrochemical manufacturers that consume natural gas as a feedstock and process fuel. It is a broad-incumbent peer engaging on overlapping regulatory and infrastructure issues affecting natural gas demand.

Direct peers

• Center for LNG: CLNG is closely affiliated with NGSA — it shares staff and leadership (Charlie Riedl is Executive Director of CLNG and VP of NGSA) and co-authors policy filings. It is effectively a sibling association focused on LNG exports.
• American Gas Association: AGA is the leading national trade association for the natural gas utility industry, representing local distribution companies. It is the closest peer to NGSA because both advocate for the natural gas value chain in Washington and frequently co-file on overlapping policy issues such as efficiency standards and infrastructure.
• Interstate Natural Gas Association of America: INGAA represents the interstate natural gas pipeline industry and is a direct peer on natural gas infrastructure and transmission policy. NGSA and INGAA frequently partner on pipeline permitting, FERC matters, and reliability issues, making them natural co-advocates.
• Independent Petroleum Association of America: IPAA represents independent oil and natural gas producers in the U.S., overlapping with NGSA's independent-producer member segment on advocacy, regulatory, and tax policy matters.
• Natural Gas Council: The Natural Gas Council is a coalition of natural gas industry associations in which NGSA is a core participant. The Council coordinates cross-association advocacy on permitting, reliability, and supply chain policy — making it a coalition-level peer to NGSA.
