Connecting credit and risk professionals in the energy industry since 1997. NAPCO provides educational resources, networking opportunities, and professional development for companies transacting in power, natural gas, petroleum, and other energy commodities.
Founded in 1997 by a small group of energy credit professionals, NAPCO has grown into a respected non-profit association serving the entire North American energy market, with a clear focus on electricity. We remain a member-run organization committed to creating a positive environment for learning and networking.
Our membership spans investor-owned utilities, municipalities, government agencies, wholesale energy traders, merchant energy companies, law firms, and various credit-support vendors from across the U.S. and Canada.
