National Energy Conservation Policy Act

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Energy Conservation Policy Act (NECPA) of 1978 (P.L. 95-619) is a U.S. statute which was signed into law as part of the National Energy Act.

NECPA required utilities to provide residential consumers with energy conservation audits and other services to encourage slower growth of electricity demand. On the level of federal states, energy demand management programmes have been legislated earlier (California and Wisconsin as early as 1975).

The NECPA was amended in 1985 by the Energy Policy and Conservation Act Amendments of 1985 (P.L. 99-58).
