Energy

Conservation
“Energy Conservation is the Foundation of
Energy Independence” – Tom Allen
What Is Energy Conservation?
Energy conservation means reducing the consumption of energy
by producing or using less of it.
Energy conservation is “the prevention of the wasteful use of
energy, especially in order to ensure its continuing availability.”

Energy conservation involves using less energy by adjusting your

behaviors and habits.
What Is Energy Efficiency?
Energy Efficiency is doing more with the same amount of
energy or less energy.
Energy efficiency involves the use of technology that
requires less energy to perform the same function.

This Act Shall be known as the “Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act”.
Declaration of Policies
a) Institutionalize energy efficiency and conservation as a national way of life geared
towards the efficient and judicious utilization of energy by formulating,
developing, and implementing energy efficiency and conservation plans and
programs to secure sufficiency and stability of energy supply in the country to
cushion the impact of high prices of imported fuels to local markets and protect
the environment in support of the economic and social development goals of the
country;
b) Promote and encourage the development and utilization of efficient
renewable energy technologies and systems to ensure optimal use and
sustainability of the country’s energy resources;
c) Reinforce related laws and other statutory provisions for a comprehensive
approach to energy efficiency, conservation, sufficiency, and sustainability in
the country; and
d) Ensure a market-driven approach to energy efficiency, conservation,
sufficiency, and sustainability in the country.
Scope
This Act shall establish a framework for introducing and
institutionalizing fundamental policies on energy efficiency and
conservation, including the promotion of efficient and judicious
utilization of energy, increase in the utilization of energy efficiency
and renewable energy technologies, and the delineation of
responsibilities among various government agencies and private
entities.
