Partner With Us to Strengthen American Energy and Commerce.
A corporate partnership connects your organization to the work that improves the conditions every energy and commerce business depends on, including research, gatherings, workforce development, and sound policy that benefit these industries as a whole.
Advance Projects. Unlock Capital. Influence Policy.
NAEC connects members to the relationships, expertise, power providers, investors, and strategic partners needed to move opportunities forward. We advocate for greater capital access, faster permitting, smarter policy, and conditions that support investment, business growth, and economic development.
What Membership Can Do for You
Membership value differs by where you sit. Here's how NAEC creates opportunities for business leaders, public officials, investors, energy providers, and professional advisors.
For Business Leaders
Connect with power providers, investors, policymakers, communities, and specialized expertise that can help advance projects, solve barriers, and create new business opportunities.
For Public Officials
Economic development officers, mayors, and elected officials gain private-sector intelligence, relationships beyond their own state, and data on energy, commerce, and policy trends that inform sound decisions for their constituents.
For Community & Civic Leaders
Bring community priorities directly into conversations shaping major energy, infrastructure, and economic-development decisions — before those decisions are made.
For Lenders, Investors & Insurers
Gain visibility into projects, companies, market trends, and industry relationships that can strengthen investment, underwriting, and risk decisions — while uncovering new opportunities.
For Consultants & Vendors
Build relationships with the organizations developing, financing, powering, permitting, and supporting major projects — creating opportunities to put your expertise to work.

- Business & industry leaders — energy, utilities, infrastructure, data centers, technology, and manufacturing.
- Investment & financial leaders — private capital, lenders, investors, and other financial stakeholders.
- Government leaders — current and former officials with experience in policy, permitting, and economic development.
- Community & civic leaders — bringing local, educational, workforce, and community perspectives.
Members bring distinct perspectives, united around shared priorities and practical outcomes.
