Midyear Momentum
A look at what’s ahead for EGSA and our members this summer as we reach the midpoint of 2026
A s summer settles in, it’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through 2026. It’s been a busy and ex- citing year for EGSA, and we’re look- ing forward to keeping that momen- tum going as we prepare for our Fall Conference in Washington, DC. One of the highlights of every issue is welcoming the newest companies to the EGSA community (page 14). If you’re not sure whether your compa- ny is currently a member, we’d love to help. Reach out to the EGSA team, and we’ll confirm your membership status and get you connected with the many benefits available to members, including a listing in the EGSA Buying Guide and Directory. As we look toward the second half of the year, there is a great deal of en- ergy building across the association. From new initiatives and expanded programming to increased member engagement, EGSA continues to grow in ways that reflect the strength and innovation of our industry. We’re grateful for the participation of our members who help shape these ef- forts and bring fresh ideas forward through committees, events, and day- to-day involvement. This issue is especially exciting be- cause it marks a new chapter for Pow- erline . Beginning with this edition, the magazine is now fully digital, making it easier than ever to access and share with colleagues throughout the indus- try. Inside, you’ll find three insightful white papers, member profiles , and new recurring columns from the Dis- tributor/Dealer Committee and our partner, PowerChampions. These stories showcase the expertise, inno- Programs, Publications & Member Value
vation, and leadership that make the EGSA community so strong. Education continues to be at the heart of what EGSA does. Whether you’re just getting started in the industry or have decades of experience, we have training opportunities designed to help you grow. You’ll find an update from our Education Team on page 8, and on page 6, you will find our events calendar for the remainder of 2026. We’re always looking for new ways to help our members increase their visibility and share their successes. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Powerline Business Briefs , a new member benefit featured in Powerline Weekly . Each month, we’ll highlight member company news , including press releases, awards, promotions, new hires, product launches, business milestones, and other noteworthy up- dates. Another way EGSA is helping members showcase their accomplish- ments, strengthen their industry pres- ence, and stay connected with the onsite power generation community. We encourage you to send us your news so we can help share your story. Looking Ahead to Washington Our Fall Conference is shaping up to be one of our best yet. Along with the high-quality education and net- working opportunities you’ve come to expect from EGSA, we’re honored to welcome President George W. Bush as our closing keynote speaker on Tuesday afternoon. We’re grateful to Gillette Generators for sponsoring what is sure to be a memorable ses- sion. Find all the conference details on page 23. We’re also excited to introduce EGSA’s first-ever Capitol Hill Day. This new
