National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA)

NEMA’s new brand is bold, authoritative and vibrant – conveying our legacy of leadership and our commitment to meeting the energy demands of the future. NEMA is the leading voice for the electroindustry, representing the manufacturers who power American energy leadership. Wherever electricity is at work, NEMA is there. Let’s Make it Electric. MakeItElectric.org

the Electrical Distributor Magazine (tED magazine) spotlighted NEMA's just-released study, “A Reliable Grid for an Electric Future." It's a data-driven roadmap to ensure our energy infrastructure keeps pace with accelerating electrification and digitalization. NEMA members are building the technologies—and we’re advocating for the policies—that will deliver the reliable, flexible, and secure grid America needs. https://lnkd.in/geyQJZmY

The future of electrification is here—but is our grid ready for it? ICYMI: On the Energy Solutions podcast, NEMA President & CEO Debra Phillips joined Electric Power Supply Association to discuss the evolving energy landscape and the technologies, policies, and workforce solutions needed to support a smarter, more reliable, and efficient power system. She also discussed NEMA's study: “A Reliable Grid for an Electric Future." Listen here: https://lnkd.in/eNguybE8

Data format standardization sounds so dull, but it is anything but that! ANSI/NEMA C137.10 specifies a vendor agnostic data format for data produced by sensors installed on light poles. The intent is to allow streetlights to remain on during extreme weather. As an added bonus, it creates opportunities in the smart cities market. EC&M had a great cover story on this in its April 2025 issue. Check it out! https://lnkd.in/eVNk4Gzp

Missouri HB 939 would block local governments from adopting modern energy codes beyond the 2009 IECC. Chris Bresee, NEMA’s State Government Affairs Director, testified on behalf of NEMA to defend local decision-making and energy-smart building standards.   We support broad adoption of the National Electrical Code and the International Energy Conservation Code because they’re foundational to grid resilience, lower energy costs, and long-term sustainability.   Local leaders need flexibility to prepare for tomorrow’s energy demands—not restrictions that hold them back. https://lnkd.in/ePaVMe6j

Immediate past NEMA Board Chair and Southwire Company CEO Rich Stinson is leading the charge toward a stronger, smarter grid. His spotlight in The CEO Magazine Global shows how forward-looking manufacturing leadership is powering America’s electrified future. Read the full piece: https://lnkd.in/e_kgA9cs

Steve Griffith, PMP, NEMA Executive Director of Regulatory & Industry Affairs, Mobility, joined The Watt Car podcast to unpack the new NEMA EVSE Power Export Standard. “It’s our mission to be the voice for manufacturers in this fully connected, electrified sector. The standard was developed as a resource to bolster grid reliability and reflect the realities of today’s electrification landscape.” Tune in to hear how this standard is helping power the future of electrified mobility: https://lnkd.in/e76Z-iZh

“Electrification and digitalization are transforming our world.” — Beth Wozniak, CEO, nVent & NEMA Board Chair From AI to e-mobility to grid-ready data centers, NEMA members are delivering the reliable, efficient electrical solutions that will power a more competitive energy future. Dive into “A Reliable Grid for an Electric Future”: https://lnkd.in/eypNth6F #NEMAGridStudy

“The promise of an all-electric future is real—and attainable.” — Rich Stinson, President & CEO, Southwire Company As the grid evolves, NEMA members like Southwire are building the infrastructure to match—wiring North America for a more reliable, more electrified economy. Read “A Reliable Grid for an Electric Future” to see how we’re meeting the moment: https://lnkd.in/eypNth6F #NEMAGridStudy

Unlike many studies projecting a surge in electricity demand as the economy electrifies and data centers proliferate, NEMA’s April 2025 grid study highlights solutions to meet the growing demand. Tax policy and supply chain certainty along with grid investments in a key market ready technologies such as smart grids, digital substations and transmission line reconductoring can shore up grid capacity to meet shifting peak loads while the transmission/distribution networks are built out to accommodate new generation sources. https://lnkd.in/dg8Jb2Gh
