Our Story
Founded by Peers, Fueled by Purpose.

This marked the beginning of a journey that would see the organization evolve into the National Petroleum Energy Credit Association (NPECA).
Today, with over 350 members from more than 110 companies, NPECA is the nation’s premier association for energy credit professionals. Our mission is to empower our members by providing the insights, connections, and expertise needed to navigate the complexities of the energy industry.
