Benefits of Membership

Energy Solutions Center Utility Membership Benefits

The Energy Solutions Center (ESC) brings together energy utilities, equipment manufacturers, and industry partners to maximize the impact of limited personnel, funding, and resources dedicated to marketing, sales, energy efficiency, and customer support.


ESC promotes innovative partnerships that strengthen the connection between energy providers, technology suppliers, and end users. The Center produces a wide range of educational, technical, and marketing materials and tools that help utility representatives retain and grow gas load, as well as promote conservation and efficiency.

As the only organization dedicated exclusively to the marketing, sales, and customer support needs of natural gas utilities, ESC is committed to advancing the competitiveness, productivity, reliability, efficiency, and comfort of residential, commercial, and industrial energy users.

New for 2026
Beginning in 2026, all Standard Training Programs will be included with ESC Utility Membership. These programs are designed to strengthen your staff’s technical, operational, and marketing knowledge, empowering your organization to better serve customers and achieve long-term success.


In addition, ESC will introduce an Administrative Training Portal featuring comprehensive tracking and performance tools. Through this portal, members will be able to monitor participation, measure key performance indicators (KPIs), and track progress toward individual and organizational training goals. This innovative platform enhances staff professional development, supports accountability, and helps ensure that utilities achieve their strategic training and performance objectives.

Premium Training opportunities will also be available at a special rate for all Utility Members, providing advanced, in-depth learning and development options beyond the Standard Training offerings.
