Advocacy

Regulatory advocacy that improves manufacturing operations

MAN works with regulators and stakeholders to ensure regulations are practical, consultative, and supportive of productive capacity.

Regulatory Engagement

Constructive regulation through consultation

Regulatory advocacy helps manufacturers comply with public requirements while ensuring that rules are practical, predictable, and aligned with industrial growth.

  • Engagement with regulators on standards, electricity, customs, ports, and operating permits.
  • Promotion of consultation before major regulatory changes are implemented.
  • Escalation of member concerns where regulation creates avoidable cost or uncertainty.
  • Support for clearer implementation guidelines and predictable timelines.

Regulation that works

Manufacturers need rules that protect public interest while enabling productive investment.

Eligible Customer Regulation

MAN recognizes the release of the Eligible Customer Regulation by NERC as a stakeholder-driven regulatory step aimed at improving electricity distribution capacity to consumers, including manufacturers.
