Rational use of energy resources - achievement of maximum efficiency of use of energy resources in case of the existing level of development of the equipment and technology, on condition of decrease in technogenic environmental impact.
Standard rates of consumption energy the resursovreglamentirovanny size of expense of energy resources for this production, products, work, service.
Renewable energy resources - the power sources which are constantly existing or periodically appearing in the environment (energy of the sun, wind, flows of heat of the earth, energy of biomass, the seas, flows of waters, etc.).
The legislation of the Azerbaijan Republic on use of energy resources consists of this Law and other regulatory legal acts, and also international treaties of the Azerbaijan Republic accepted according to it.

regulation and standardization in the field of energy saving and effective use of energy resources, obligation of observance of standards and standard rates of power;
combination of interests of producers (getters), transporters and consumers of energy resources;

The procedure and conditions of development of state programs on effective use of energy resources is determined by relevant organ of the executive authority of the Azerbaijan Republic.
The state provides conditions for carrying out systematic complex researches in the field of energy saving for the purpose of creation of scientific bases of new energy saving processes and technologies, development of highly effective devices and the equipment, rational use of energy resources.
State regulation in the field of use of energy resources is performed in the following main directions:
adoption of the concept of energy policy of the state, state programs in the field of use of energy resources, corresponding regulatory legal acts;
