Who we are
The North American Energy Markets Association
NAEMA is an independent, nonprofit trade association representing entities involved in the buying and selling of energy or in providing services to the energy industry. Members work together to promote an informed, efficient and open energy marketplace throughout North America.
NAEMA's roots reach back to the Mid-Continent Area Power Pool (MAPP) Power and Energy Market (PEM), established by the Mid-Continent Area Power Pool members in 1996. In 2003, the PEM unbundled from MAPP and became the Mid-Continent Energy Marketers Association (MEMA). In 2011, recognizing that the association had significantly outgrown the Mid-Continent area, it took the name North American Energy Markets Association.
