EEI Joins ‘America’s Energy’ to Showcase Industry Leadership at the Republican National Convention
July 2024
EEI partnered with the American Clean Power Association (ACP), the American Gas Association (AGA), and the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) to form “America’s Energy,” a coalition that hosted events at the recent Republican National Convention (RNC) and is planning similar events for the upcoming Democratic National Convention (DNC). Through America’s Energy, we are working to showcase how EEI’s member companies and the energy industry are powering the nation’s economy and delivering the future of energy.Earlier this month at the RNC in Milwaukee, Punchbowl News hosted an America’s Energy CEO Roundtable featuring EEI President and CEO Dan Brouillette, ACP CEO Jason Grumet, AGA President and CEO Karen Harbert, and NEI President and CEO Maria Korsnick. Brouillette discussed how vital energy is to the national economy, stating that the energy industry comprises “the first 5 percent” of our national gross domestic product.
“Everything else that we build is on the foundation of energy production here in the United States,” he continued.
The panel also discussed the rise in energy demand as more data centers and technologies like artificial intelligence connect to the grid, and the need for siting and permitting reform to catalyze the infrastructure build-out needed to meet this rising demand.

Punchbowl News will host a discussion with America’s Energy leaders at the DNC in Chicago next month.
