A bill to improve the electric generation efficiency of joint Federal-civilian pooling practices in Alaska and for other purposes.
Alaska Federal-Civilian Energy Efficiency Swap Act of 1980 - Authorizes the head of any department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States to sell to any non-Federal person electric energy generated by the coal-fired electric generating facilities of any such department, agency, or instrumentality in Alaska, without regard to prohibitions against such sales where such energy is available from other local sources, if: (1) such energy is generated by an existing coal-fired generating facility; (2) such energy is surplus Federal energy; (3) the cost to the ultimate consumer is less; and (4) the sale will result in a reduction in the total consumption of oil or natural gas by the non-Federal person.
Authorizes any department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States to purchase electric power from any non-Federal person for consumption in Alaska by any facility of such department, agency, or instrumentality where the purchase will result in a savings to: (1) other consumers of electric energy without increasing the cost incurred by the Federal facility; or (2) to such department, agency, or instrumentality without increasing costs to other consumers.
Directs the Secretary of Energy to: (1) biennially report to Congress on actions taken pursuant to this Act by any department, agency, or instrumentality; and (2) conduct a study and issue a report to Congress concerning the sale of Federal power in States other than Alaska.
