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 activites.
Often the dominant issue of energy policy is risk of supply-demend mismatch (see: energy crisis). Curent energy policies emphasize also the environmental issues (see: climate change).
Some governments issue energy policy statements, but in any case each government practices some kind of energy policy.
Even within a state it is proper to talk about energy policies in plural. Influential actors, such as energy industries, will each exercise his own policy.
