42 U.S.C. § 8484 — Electric utility conservation plan
Federal law — U.S. Code and appendices · legal_authorities
**(a) Applicability** An electric utility is subject to this subsection 11 So in original. Probably should be “section”. if—
(1) the utility owns or operates any existing electric powerplant in which natural gas was used as a primary energy source at any time during the 1-year period ending on August 13, 1981, and
(2) the utility plans to use natural gas as a primary energy source in any electric powerplant.
**(b) Submission and approval of plan** The Secretary shall require each electric utility subject to this section to—
(1) submit, within 1 year after August 13, 1981, and have approved by the Secretary, a conservation plan which meets the requirements of subsection (c); and
(2) implement such plan during the 5-year period beginning on the date of the initial approval of such plan.
**(c) Contents of plan**
(1) Any conservation plan under this section shall set forth means determined by the utility to achieve conservation of electric energy not later than the 5th year after its initial approval at a level, measured on an annual basis, at least equal to 10 percent of the electric energy output of that utility during the most recent 4 calendar quarters ending prior to August 13, 1981, which is attributable to natural gas.
(2) The conservation plan shall include—
(A) all activities required for such utility by part 1 of title II of the National Energy Conservation Policy Act [[42 U.S.C. 8211](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section8211&num=0&edition=prelim) et seq.];
(B) an effective public information program for conservation; and
(C) such other measures as the utility may consider appropriate.
(3) Any such plan may set forth a program for the use of renewable energy sources (other than hydroelectric power).

**(d) Plan approval**
(1) The Secretary shall, by order, approve or disapprove any conservation plan proposed under this subsection 1 by an electric utility within 120 days after its submission.

**(a) Findings** The Congress finds that—
(1) the United States has survived a period of energy shortage and has made significant progress toward improving energy efficiency in all sectors of the economy;
(2) effective measures must continue to be taken by the Federal Government and other users and suppliers of energy to control the rate of growth of demand for energy and the efficiency of its use;
(3) the continuation of this effort will permit the United States to become increasingly independent of the world oil market, less vulnerable to interruption of foreign oil supplies, and more able to provide energy to meet future needs; and
(4) all sectors of the economy of the United States should continue to reduce significantly the demand for nonrenewable energy resources such as oil and natural gas by implementing and maintaining effective conservation measures for the efficient use of these and other energy sources.
**(b) Statement of purposes** The purposes of this chapter are to provide for the regulation of interstate commerce, to reduce the growth in demand for energy in the United States, and to conserve nonrenewable energy resources produced in this Nation and elsewhere, without inhibiting beneficial economic growth.

**(a) Generally** Any person owning, operating, or proposing to operate one or more existing electric powerplants required to come into compliance with the prohibitions of this chapter shall on or before January 1, 1980, and annually thereafter, submit to the Secretary a report identifying all such existing electric powerplants owned or operated by such person. Such report shall—
(1) set forth the anticipated schedule for compliance with the applicable requirements and prohibitions by each such electric powerplant;
(2) indicate proposed or existing contracts or other commitments or good faith negotiations for such contracts or commitments for coal or another alternate fuel, equipment, or combinations thereof, which would enable such powerplant to comply with such prohibitions; and
(3) identify those electric powerplants, if any, for which application for temporary or permanent exemption from the prohibitions of this chapter may be filed.
**(b) Report on implementation of section 8484 plan** Any electric utility required to submit a conservation plan under [section 8484 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section8484&num=0&edition=prelim) shall annually submit to the Secretary a report identifying the steps taken during the preceding year to implement such plan.

(a) Findings
The Congress finds that—
(1) the United States has survived a period of
energy shortage and has made significant
progress toward improving energy efficiency

(2) effective measures must continue to be
taken by the Federal Government and other
users and suppliers of energy to control the
rate of growth of demand for energy and the
efficiency of its use;
(3) the continuation of this effort will permit
the United States to become increasingly
independent of the world oil market, less vul-
nerable to interruption of foreign oil supplies,
and more able to provide energy to meet fu-
ture needs; and
(4) all sectors of the economy of the United
States should continue to reduce significantly
the demand for nonrenewable energy resources
such as oil and natural gas by implementing
and maintaining effective conservation meas-
ures for the efficient use of these and other en-
ergy sources.
(b) Statement of purposes
The purposes of this chapter are to provide for
the regulation of interstate commerce, to reduce
the growth in demand for energy in the United
States, and to conserve nonrenewable energy re-
sources produced in this Nation and elsewhere,
without inhibiting beneficial economic growth.
