		Energy policy is a plan of action for tackling issues related to energy supply, demand, development of energy related industry and trade and consequences of energy activities.
		Policy measures available to these entities are lesser in sovereignty, but may be equally important to national measures.
		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.
