America’s energy future depends on a strong electroindustry. Today, NEMA and our partners released a tariff incentive framework that accelerates the Trump Administration’s energy and domestic manufacturing goals. Our plan provides a blueprint to: ● Continued strong U.S. investment ● Grid and data center resilience ● Faster progress toward energy and AI priorities Why it matters: ● U.S. electricity demand will rise 50% by 2050. ● Manufacturers and data center companies have invested $1.4 trillion in U.S. facilities since 2018. ● Without smart tariff incentives, billions in future investment could be at risk. Together with the Data Center Coalition, National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), National Association of Electrical Distributors (NAED), and National Electrical Manufacturers Representatives Association (NEMRA), we are urging the Administration to adopt this practical approach to strengthen America’s industrial base, protect jobs, and unleash the full potential of the electrified economy. https://lnkd.in/eviJ9rZa
