GSBR is a 501(c)(6) organization that promotes and advances the common interests of energy producers, large industrial energy consumers and manufacturers, businesses, and community partners across the Gulf South.

The Gulf South Business Roundtable brings together business, industry, and community leaders to speak with one unified voice about what matters most to our region and America’s future. GSBR exists to power America’s economic future by advancing energy, industrial growth, manufacturing expansion, and digital infrastructure while lifting communities across the region.

The Gulf South is America’s foundation for reliable energy and power infrastructure. At a time of increasing global competition and rising demand for energy, manufacturing, and digital capacity, our region plays a central role in protecting the nation’s energy advantage.

GSBR was formed to convene leaders across states and sectors to align regional priorities and move them forward together. By speaking with one unified voice, we can attract global investment, strengthen America’s economic competitiveness, and ensure long term growth that benefits families and communities throughout the Gulf South.

The Gulf South leads by leading with energy and building with people.

Founding members include Alabama Power Company; Entergy Corporation and its five operating companies: Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, and Entergy Texas; Kinder Morgan; and Mitsubishi Power Americas, Inc.

GSBR continues to welcome companies and partners who are committed to strengthening the region’s economic foundation. We envision a growing network of energy producers, industrial and manufacturing leaders, infrastructure partners, and community stakeholders who understand that coordinated leadership is essential to powering America’s economic future and lifting communities across the Gulf South.

GSBR seeks to shape a policy environment that supports economic growth and the infrastructure necessary to sustain it. This includes strengthening energy reliability, modernizing and expanding infrastructure, supporting permitting reform, implementing key tax incentives and predictable trade policy, and advancing industrial and digital development.

Our goal is to position the Gulf South as a national economic engine by attracting global investment, expanding quality jobs, and reinforcing America’s leadership in reliable energy, infrastructure, and manufacturing growth. We believe long term economic competitiveness must translate into real opportunity and improved quality of life for generations to come.

Our members share a commitment to ensuring the Gulf South remains a hub for energy production, industrial and manufacturing expansion, and innovation.

These common interests include:

• Protecting and strengthening America’s energy advantage

• Supporting workforce development and reliable, high-quality jobs

• Advancing infrastructure and digital capacity

• Driving long term regional growth and global competitiveness

GSBR serves as a centralized network where these shared priorities align and move forward with one unified voice.

GSBR complements and coordinates with organizations that share a commitment to economic growth and community development.

Our role is to convene leaders regionally, align strategy, and amplify shared priorities at the federal and national levels. By working collaboratively, we aim to strengthen the collective voice of the Gulf South and ensure the region’s priorities are clearly represented in policy discussions that shape America’s future.

GSBR was designed to act strategically from the outset.

In the short term, we are engaging federal decision makers, business leaders, and community stakeholders to advance policies that support energy reliability, industrial and manufacturing expansion, workforce development, and infrastructure growth.

Over the long term, GSBR is positioning the Gulf South as the hub of America’s energy and industrial strength. By convening leaders and speaking with one unified voice, we are helping attract global investment, create quality and reliable jobs, and secure lasting economic benefits for families across the region.

When the Gulf South leads, America wins.
