| | TVA: Internal Energy Management (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | TVA took a leadership role in internal energy management in 1973 by initiating efforts to reduce energy use and associated costs at its facilities. |
 | | The NECPA was later followed by the Energy Policy Act of 1992, the Energy Policy Act of 2005, and various Presidential executive orders, laws, and guidance documents. |
 | | These laws and regulations have required further reductions of energy use, the purchase of energy efficient equipment (motors, compressors, transformers, computers, lighting, heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems, etc.), reductions in potable water use, increases in vehicle fuel efficiency, and the application of sustainable principles. |
