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

Now is the moment to unite. There is widespread interest among businesses and governmental leaders in energy and industrial development initiatives that will enhance the Gulf South region and the US economy as a whole. The region is benefiting from unprecedented leadership in Washington, D.C. by elected officials from the region.

GSBR is seeking to capitalize on that influence and work with business organizations, local communities, and academic institutions to promote sound and sustainable energy policies and practices that support economic growth, community development and global competitiveness in the Gulf South.

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.

Our list of members is continuing to grow with partners who share our priority of achieving collaborative solutions to meet the rapidly growing energy, infrastructure, and workforce demands in the Gulf South region.

We envision a policy landscape that actively supports economic growth and the additional energy infrastructure that will be needed to support that growth. We are focused on energy reliability, infrastructure modernization, permitting reform, and extending key tax incentives that keep our region competitive.

There is an important role for the federal government in developing policies that promote additional innovation in vital energy and infrastructure projects and the commercialization and success of those projects, resulting in a lasting positive impact on local communities and the entire region.

We share the goal of building strong business and community networks to drive growth and innovative technologies across the Gulf South. Our work will support our partners and communities to deliver policies, and resources that will drive economic prosperity and growth, jobs and workforce development, and an overall improvement in the quality of life in the Gulf South region.

We have an important role to play in supplementing, complementing, and helping coordinate current industry efforts. We look forward to collaborating on shared priorities focused on economic growth and development.

GSBR was built to act quickly and strategically. From day one, we are engaging federal decision-makers, corporate leaders, and community stakeholders to shape policies that drive industrial growth — from infrastructure investment and workforce development to reliable energy and permitting reform.

We’re not here to admire the challenges. We’re here to get things done. In the short term, that means driving coordinated action on impactful federal initiatives. In the long term, we’re positioning the Gulf South to lead the nation in industrial growth, innovation, and global competitiveness.

By uniting voices across sectors and states, GSBR and its members are helping drive new investments, create quality jobs, and strengthen long-term economic growth across the region.
