Propane Days 2023
NPGA is excited to announce Propane Days 2023 on June 4-7 in Washington, DC. The association will host its Annual and Board of Directors meetings, as well as the Marketers Section and Scholarship meetings, guest speakers, and the annual advocacy day.
The Capitol and Congressional offices are once again open to the public, and this year marks a return to the traditional advocacy day programming, including a federal legislative breakfast and briefing on the association’s top priorities and best practices for Congressional meetings, in-person meetings on Capitol Hill, and a Congressional Reception.
On Capitol Hill, NPGA members will advocate for the most pressing issues facing the propane industry, including the following:
- Fighting back against recent government actions to limit consumer choice for energy sources and household appliances, such as stoves, furnaces, and water heaters
- Promoting propane storage in rural areas by reducing burdens on propane marketers associated with the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) and providing agriculture producers with low-interest loans for additional propane tanks in the upcoming Farm Bill reauthorization
- Urging Congress to continue to make propane eligible for grants and funding at airports for vehicles and resiliency applications through the Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization
- Requesting Department of Energy funding for research and development of renewable propane, propane vehicles, microgrids, and combined heat and power in this year’s appropriations bill
- Advocating for the Department of Defense to adopt propane-powered backup- and primary-power generation and to initiate a pilot program to adopt propane vehicles at non-combat military facilities in this year’s National Defense Authorization Act
The advocacy day will end with a reception on Capitol Hill in the Rayburn House Office Building, which will be attended by numerous Members of Congress, their staff, and industry partners.
We hope you will consider joining NPGA for this exciting event in Washington, DC, in June. If you have any questions, contact Kate Singleton, NPGA’s Manager of Political and Legislative Affairs, at [email protected].
