Energy has been a cornerstone of Louisiana’s culture and economy for over a century. With vast natural resources, logistical advantages stemming from being positioned at the mouth of the mighty Mississippi River, a massive network of existing energy infrastructure, and a skilled workforce, Louisiana has the potential to be a global energy leader.

The energy sector is undergoing massive shifts, driven by structural changes, exploding electricity demand, and rapid technological advancements. The Pelican Center for Energy (PCE) is dedicated to applying free-market principles to transforming these challenges into unprecedented opportunities. Our mission: position Louisiana as the most energy-dominant state in the nation by 2035, create jobs and economic opportunity and ensure the availability of affordable, reliable energy for all.
