             TITLE 40--PUBLIC BUILDINGS, PROPERTY, AND WORKS
 
       CHAPTER 17A--ALASKA FEDERAL-CIVILIAN ENERGY EFFICIENCY SWAP
 
Sec. 795b. Purchase of electric power; authority; applicable 
        criteria
        
    For purposes of economy and efficiency and conserving oil and 
natural gas, whenever practicable and consistent with other laws 
applicable to any agency and whenever consistent with the requirements 
applicable to any agency, such agency shall endeavor to purchase 
electric power from any non-Federal person for consumption in Alaska by 
any facility of such agency where such purchase--
        (1) will result in a savings to other consumers of electric 
    energy sold by such non-Federal person without increasing the cost 
    incurred by any agency for electric energy, or
        (2) will result in a cost savings to such agency of electric 
    energy without increasing costs to other consumers of electric 
    energy,

taking into account the remaining useful life of any facility available 
to such agency to generate electric energy for such agency and the cost 
of maintaining such facility on a standby basis.
