Abstract

This Law sets forth the framework for the exploitation of energy resources. It aims at ensuring reliable and sustainable energy supply, as well as the reduction of adverse impacts on the environment. Energy efficiency means the rate of effectiveness of energy processes, defined as a percentage ratio of the total energy output and the total energy input of the same process. The Law consists of five Chapters: (I) General provisions; (II) Energy efficiency policies; (III) Energy auditing; (IV) Energy Efficiency Fund; (V) Final provisions. The National Agency of Energy is designated as the competent authority in energy matters. Local energy offices are established in each region under the authority of the National Energy Agency. The local offices shall establish and update the database on local energy consumption and available resources. Further provisions concern administrative offences and related penalties.
