Improved Energy Contingency Planning

Is Needed To Manage Future

Energy Shortages More Effectively



Energy shortages have been occurring with
increasing frequency. Responsible Federal
agencies have not been prepared tG implement
emergency measures in a timely manner.
Fortunately, the efforts of energy suppliers
and consumers have minimized most adverse
economic effects.

Responsible Federal and State ener : agency                  RELEASED
officials made their first concerted effort to
establish contingencV plans for possible fuel
shortages during the 1977-78 winter. Still, the
coal strike and related electric power short-
ages required that actions be taken that were
not planned for, but the coordinated efforts of
Government and industry were successful in
minimizing the economic impact-

Lessons learned from this experience need to
be applied to present and future en3rgy con-
tingency planning efforts to improve their
effectiveness.
