As stated above, development in every sector depends largely on energy. The rate of energy consumption today is a nation has direct correlation with economic growth and prosperity. The stage of development is well reflected by the per capita energy consumption of a country. ehold go energy crisis has led to the formulation of an energy policy framework within which the rate of growth and pattern of an energy consumption  can be regulated and energy conservation strategies are to be adopted.

Energy conservation refers to efforts made to reduce energy consumption. can be regulated and energy conservation strategies are to be adopted. Energy conservation refers to efforts made to reduce energy

consumption. Energy conservation can be achieved through efficient energy use, in conjunction with decreased energy consumption and or reduced consumption from conventional energy sources. Energy conservation can result in increased financial capital, environmental quality, national security, personal security and human comfort. Individuals and

organisations that are direct consumers of energy choose to conserve energy to reduce energy costs and promote economic security. Industrial and commercial users can increase energy use efficiency to maximise

profit. Energy, which saves money, and at the same time saves the earth. When we decrease the amount of energy we automatically make efforts to reduce global warming. 

The following measures for energy conservation can be adopted as initial steps:

(a) Shiftgig from the use of fossil fuels and non renewable energy resources such as petroleum, coal, natural gas, uranium etc to renewable energy resources such as solar energy, wind energy, biogas etc.

(b) More technological innovation contributing efficient energy saving.

(c) Unnecessary use of electricity should be prohibited. Street lights should be suntched off early in the morning.

(d) Domestic consumers can curtail energy consumption on many household goods.

(e) Industries should develop a mechanism for judicious of raw materials for their energy needs.
