Abstract
The Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act ("PURPA") of 1978 was born out of the energy crisis of the 1970s. It reawakened the nearly dormant interest in industrial power generation and attached a new name, "cogeneration." PURPA has enabled cogeneration to develop and prosper in North America. Indeed, there is not an area of the industrial USA that has not been touched, and it is now spreading around the world.
