What Is egsa.org and What Does the Site Offer?
Updated
egsa.org is the website of EGSA, an association serving the onsite power generation industry. The site is useful if you work with generators, backup power, or related equipment and want to find industry education, certifications, events, publications, or supplier listings. It is organized around membership, education, events, and a buying guide rather than being a general consumer site.
Who the Site Is For
The site addresses professionals and companies in onsite power generation. Its navigation points to membership information, education and certification programs, conferences, publications, and a product-and-company buying guide. If you are a technician, an equipment supplier, or someone specifying generator-related products, these sections are the main entry points.
Main Sections at a Glance
| Section | What you can find |
|---|---|
| Membership | New member information, membership benefits and application, MyEGSA savings program, and ways to get involved |
| Education | Course catalog, EGSA certifications, generator technician certifications, load bank certification, pricing, FAQs, and onsite power generation schools |
| Events | Spring and Fall conference information, plus sponsor and exhibit opportunities |
| Publications | Buying Guide, OnSite Power Generation book, Powerline, article submission, advertising information, and archive |
| Buying Guide | Search by product category or by company |
Education and Certification
The education area is the most task-oriented part of the site. It lists a course catalog and separate certification tracks, including generator technician certifications and load bank certification. A dedicated pricing page exists under certifications, so cost information is handled there rather than being stated on the homepage. The site also includes FAQs and information on onsite power generation schools, which is where to check prerequisites and scheduling details.
Events and Conferences
EGSA lists Spring and Fall conference pages along with sponsor and exhibit opportunities and a 2026 prospectus. If your goal is networking, exhibiting, or attending industry sessions, start from the Events section and confirm dates and participation details on the individual conference pages.
Buying Guide and Supplier Search
The Buying Guide is a practical resource for finding equipment and companies. You can search by product or by company. Product categories include:
- Batteries and battery chargers
- Control and annunciator systems
- Engines (diesel, gas, or gas turbine)
- Generator sets, generators, and alternators
- Switchgear and transfer switches
- Load banks
- Uninterruptible power supplies
- Voltage regulators and governors
This structure helps you move from a component category to listed suppliers without needing to know company names in advance.
How to Use the Site
- Decide your goal: join, train or certify, attend an event, or find a product or supplier.
- For training, open Education, then the course catalog or the specific certification page, and check the pricing page for cost details.
- For supplier research, open the Buying Guide and choose either product search or company search.
- For events, use the conference pages and the prospectus to confirm participation options.
A common sticking point is expecting prices or schedules on the homepage; those details sit on the dedicated certification pricing and individual event pages.
