Energy Policy

Energy policy refers to the set of decisions, regulations, and actions that govern the production, distribution, and consumption of energy within a particular jurisdiction, such as a country or state. It encompasses a wide range of issues, including the promotion of energy efficiency, the development of renewable energy sources, the management of fossil fuel resources, energy security, and environmental impacts associated with energy production and use. Energy policy aims to ensure a reliable supply of energy while considering economic, environmental, and social factors. It often involves collaboration between government entities, regulatory agencies, industry stakeholders, and the public to create frameworks that balance energy needs with sustainability and climate goals. The effectiveness of energy policy can significantly impact national energy independence, economic growth, and environmental protection.
