About US Energy Association
The United States Energy Association (USEA) is the U.S. Member
Committee of the World Energy Council (WEC). USEA is an association
of public and private energy-related organizations, corporations,
and government agencies. USEA represents the broad interests of
the US energy sector by increasing the understanding of energy
issues, both domestically and internationally. In conjunction
with the US Agency for International Development and the US Department
of Energy, USEA sponsors the Energy Partnership Program. USEA
sponsors policy reports and conferences dealing with global and
domestic energy issues as well as sponsors trade and educational
exchange visits with other countries.
International Voluntary Service Activities
USEA provides US energy executives from the electric utility
industry and energy regulatory commissions the opportunity to
discuss and demonstrate their "best practices" to their
counterparts in developing countries and countries in economic
transition. US volunteers host overseas energy executives and
travel on executive exchanges to meet with overseas utilities
and regulators. During the last twelve months, USEA has deployed
over 200 volunteers, with plans to do the same over the upcoming
twelve months. USEA has an available pool of over 500 potential
volunteers.
