The nation’s electrical manufacturers are hard at work to meet America’s growing energy needs at a time of unprecedented electricity demand. As one of the largest manufacturing sectors in the U.S. economy, with a market exceeding $375 billion, the electroindustry plays a pivotal role in shaping critical infrastructure, driving innovation, and securing economic prosperity.

NEMA President and CEO Debra Phillips will lead a discussion with Axios on how the electroindustry is building a grid that is secure, resilient and equipped to meet future energy needs.

The discussion will also feature bipartisan insights from Senator Tina Smith (D-MN) and Reps. Bob Latta (R-OH-5) and Kathy Castor (D-FL-14) who will discuss the policies, technologies, and industry shifts expected to play a role in modernizing and expanding electrification.
