Industrial Energy Consumers of America (IECA) is a nonprofit, member-led trade association representing manufacturing companies that are significant energy consumers, primarily operating under NAICS codes 31, 32, or 33. The non-profit company is based in Washington, DC. Its membership includes industries such as chemicals, steel, automotive, and pharmaceuticals, with eligibility requiring annual energy use of one trillion BTU or more. IECA advocates for affordable, reliable, and diverse energy supplies critical to industrial competitiveness, focusing on natural gas, electricity, energy efficiency, cogeneration, commodity markets, and climate change. The organization engages in federal energy policy and regulatory matters, including pipeline rate cases, support for pipeline expansions, and advocacy for energy permitting reforms. IECA addresses challenges such as natural gas pipeline capacity constraints, the impact of LNG exports on domestic energy prices and reliability, and electricity price inflation. It supports legislative and regulatory actions to protect industrial consumers, promote energy infrastructure development, and oppose anti-competitive practices. IECA promotes energy efficiency and environmental initiatives, including tax credits for combined heat and power and waste heat to power systems, and advocates for cost-effective greenhouse gas emission reductions through technological improvements, on-site renewable energy, waste-to-energy recovery, and demand response programs. The association operates through six committees covering natural gas, electricity, climate, government affairs, energy markets, and environment, and provides members with policy education, industry insights, and networking opportunities through its affiliation with the International Federation of Industrial Energy Consumers.
