The Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA, ) is a United States Act passed as part of the National Energy Act. It was meant to promote energy conservation (reduce demand) and promote greater use of domestic energy and renewable energy (increase supply). The law was created in response to the 1973 energy crisis, and one year in advance of a second energy crisis. Upon entering the White House, President Jimmy Carter made energy policy a top priority. The law started the energy industry on the road to restructuring.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act )〕 ==Law== The Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) encouraged * creating a market for power from non-utility power producers * increased efficiency by making use of cogeneration * ending promotional rate structures * encouraging the development of hydroelectric power * the conservation of electric energy and natural gas 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
