NECA traces its origins to the birth of modern electricity. In 1901, a group of electrical contractors met at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, NY, where a major display of electric power had been installed. These contractors joined together to foster trade and reform abuses within their fledgling industry.
In order to ensure the growth of the electrical industry was measured and safe, NECA was established in 1901. Acting as the voice to create standards for the electrical industry, working closely with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, and assisting contractors navigate changes in the field. From the invention of electricity to its expansion across the entire world, NECA has aided the electrical industry through every step of its growth.
Today, the electrical grid is one of the most important critical infrastructure developments of all time, impacting everyone in the world. With the growth and innovation of the field, NECA has maintained itself as the guiding hand to support contractors pushing the bounds of innovation and ensure safety standards continually evolve with new technologies. NECA has played a major role in making sure electrical work continues to push the boundaries of safety, innovation, and quality.
