Second quarterly report to U. S. House and Senate Committees on Appropriations

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7113336

This is the second in a series of quarterly reports to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations describing the progress of the Federal Energy Administration's (FEA) energy conservation programs and short- and long-term accomplishments. FEA's energy conservation programs are conducted by the Office of Energy Conservation and Environment. EC and E's energy conservation programs are directed towards five major targets: the three major end-use consuming sectors (residential/commercial, industrial, and transportation), utilities, and the Federal government. The previous quarterly report (April 1976) reviewed the percentages of the total energy that was consumed by each sector in 1974; data for 1975 are presented in this report. Compared to energy consumption in 1974, residential and commercial consumers used less primary energy but more electricity in 1975. Industrial consumers used less primary energy as well as less electricity than in 1974. The result is that in 1975 the residential/commercial sector replaced the industrial sector as the largest end-use consumer of energy. Part A, Overview, briefly describes the programs, focusing on new programs and significant changes in the scope of existing programs. Part B, Highlights, reports the current status of the programs, including indicators of energy consumption and conservation, and major activities conducted during the reporting period. Part C lists new publications. (MCW)
