Overview

America's power is the only organization whose sole mission is to advocate on behalf of the nation's fleet of coal-fired power plants their supply chain.

Our membership is comprised of major industries - electricity generators, coal producers, transportation companies, and equipment manufacturers - involved in generating electricity from coal.
