Law on the Rational Use of Energy; and the Parliamentary Decree regarding the procedure of enforcing the Law on the Rational Use of Energy
The law establishes a general legal framework to secure the conservation of national energy resources and its efficient use and outlines the frameworks for extraction, production, refining, storage, transport, transmission, distribution and consumption of thermal and electric energy and also proposes various provisions for economic measures that would enable rational energy use.
The 1997 Parliament decree on its enforcement ruled that the cabinet of ministers should bring all governmental decisions in accord with the law and any that are inconsistent or in contradiction or revision to be invalid.
The law was amended in May 2020 notably to update energy efficiency regulations and administrative processes.
