Addressing the challenges facing American small business manufacturers in the energy sector—and ensuring equitable access to supply chains—requires robust collaboration among all stakeholders. Governments at all levels must align policies and investments to support inclusive growth, while non-profits can provide critical technical assistance, advocacy, and capacity-building for disadvantaged businesses. Developers and manufacturers play a key role by opening procurement pipelines and mentoring smaller suppliers. At the same time, communities must be engaged as partners to ensure that economic development efforts reflect local needs and priorities. By working together, these stakeholders can build a resilient, inclusive energy economy that meets the demands of the grid while creating lasting opportunities for all.
