Though minimum Energy Efficiency Standards were first established by the United States Congress in Part B of Title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), those standards were then amended by the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act of 1987, the Energy Policy Act of 1992 and the Energy Policy Act of 2005.

RA is a component of the electrical grid reliability. [1] For example, sufficient unused generation capacity shall be available to the electrical grid at any time to accommodate major equipment failures (e.g., a disconnection of a nuclear power unit or a high-voltage power line) and drops in variable renewable energy sources (e.g, wind dying down).
The Energy Permitting Reform Act of 2024 (S.4753) is a bill in the United States Senate to reform the permitting system for fossil fuel and electric power transmission development. [1] It is one of the several iterations of permitting reform brought forth by the 118th Congress.
Increased energy efficiency and weatherization spending has a high return on investment. [26] On August 4, 1977, President Jimmy Carter signed into law The Department of Energy Organization Act of 1977 (Pub. L. 95–91, 91 Stat. 565, enacted August 4, 1977), which created the United States Department of Energy (DOE). [27]
Atomic Energy Act: Opened way for civilian nuclear power program. 1974 Solar Energy Research, Development and Demonstration Act of 1974: Created the Solar Energy Coordination and Management Project. Created the Solar Energy Research Institute (the predecessor to NREL). 1975 Energy Policy and Conservation Act: Created Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Energy planning has a number of different meanings, but the most common meaning of the term is the process of developing long-range policies to help guide the future of a local, national, regional or even the global energy system. [1]
The Energy Policy Act of 1992, effective October 24, 1992, (102nd Congress H.R.776.ENR, abbreviated as EPACT92) is a United States government act.It was passed by Congress and set goals, created mandates, and amended utility laws to increase clean energy use and improve overall energy efficiency in the United States.
For example, functional slope design considers the critical slip surface to be the location where that has the lowest value of factor of safety from a range of possible surfaces. A wide variety of slope stability software use the limit equilibrium concept with automatic critical slip surface determination.
