OSTI ID:6806428

The Annual Report to the President and the Congress on the State Energy Conservation Program is required to be prepared and transmitted annually by Section 365(c) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, Public Law 94-163, 42 USC 6325(c). This is the twelfth annual report and discusses program activities from January 1 through December 31, 1987. For FY 1987, Congress provided funding in the amount of $9.5 million for continuation of the plans under EPCA and financial and technical assistance to develop, modify, and implement state energy conservation plans. Again in 1987, states received varying amounts of oil overcharge funds. Having the flexibility to direct these funds to the most appropriate needs of the energy consumers, many of the states have chosen to use part of their oil overcharge funds to supplement State Energy Conservation Program objectives. All states have developed and are implementing plans that have been approved by the DOE State Energy Conservation Program. Under these plans, states are promoting increased energy efficiency through their authority in such areas as building codes, utility regulations, tax incentives, bond programs, and transportation programs. They also provide service programs directly to commercial, industrial, and residential energy consumers, as well as local governments, which result in energy savings. In the plans, the states are able to design energy conservation programs that comply with the legislation and satisfy their own unique conditions and requirements.
