2. Energy Policy refers to a comprehensive plan and set of laws , regulations , and strategies that guide the management, development, and use of a country’s energy resources. Energy Policy It aims to ensure a sustainable, secure, and affordable supply of energy while addressing environmental, economic, and social concerns . 2

3. Key Components of Energy Policy Energy Production --for the exploration, extraction, and production of energy resources Energy Consumption -- g uidelines for managing and regulating energy usage across sectors like transportation, industry, and residential consumption. Energy Efficiency -- m easures to reduce energy waste through technology upgrades, building standards, and efficient appliances. Energy Security --strategies to minimize dependence on imported energy and increase domestic production to ensure a stable supply. Environmental Impact -- regulations to mitigate the environmental consequences of energy production and use. Innovation and Research -- investment in new technologies and renewable energy research to advance sustainability. Pricing and Subsidies -- p olicies on setting energy prices, taxation, and subsidies to influence consumption behavior and market dynamics. 3
