	Energy policy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Energy policy is the manner a given entity (often governmental) has decided to address issues of energy production, distribution and consumption.
		In fact, there are certain activities vital to energy policy which realistically cannot be administered at the national level, such as monitoring energy conservation practices in the process of building construction, which is normally controlled by state and municipal building codes.
		The energy policy of the United Kingdom has achieved success in (a) reducing energy intensity, (b) reducing energy poverty and (c) maintaining energy supply reliability to date.
