Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES


Millions Wasted Trying

To Develop Major Energy

Information System


From the early 1970s through 1977, the Fed-
eral Power Commission invested millions of
dollars in an unsuccessful effort to develop a
large computerized system to improve Federal
and State effectiveness in regu lating the energy
industry. After the Department of Energy
took over the system in 1977, it invested an-
other two years and more money but serious
management weaknesses from the beginning
kept the system from ever operating.

This report recommends that the Department
of Energy (1) notify interested parties of the
status of the failed system and (2) review its
approach to system development to ensure
that similar experiences and problems do not
recur.
