Who We Are

Founded in 1941 as the Empire State Petroleum Association (ESPA), the Empire State Energy Association (ESEA) is a trade association representing 200 energy marketers throughout the state of New York. ESEA's members are an important part of New York's economy and they support the state's network of businesses through the storage and distribution of gasoline, diesel, aviation, heating and industrial fuels, generating over $4.5 billion annually in New York State.

The energy industry is vital to New York's economy. There are more than 32,000 people employed throughout the industry in both wholesale and retail positions. In addition, there are thousands more in related operations that support the industry. Energy marketers provide heating fuel service to more than 1.4 million households and supply motor fuels for 8.4 million registered automobiles as well as 1.3 million trucks and buses in New York.

Through the years, we've evolved to continually meet the needs of those we represent and serve. And that evolution is still taking place. Our members are faced with many challenges and new choices and opportunities. We pledge to hold true to our steadfast commitment to providing key, timely information about developments affecting their marketplace, and to work effectively with the government to give our members a unified voice in shaping policies that affect their businesses and industry at large.
