Abstract: The energy is one of main factor of production in the world; However, we observe wasting energy in public sections and specially hospitals. Regarding to economical reform's implementation of targeted subsidies, the researcher in this survey decided to probe the effect of this scheme on energy consumption in public hospital of Mashhad. The data about amount of energy sources consumption and their costs in hospitals were collected by referring to the water, electricity and gas organization's websites. Ultimately, these data were entered in SPSS and were analyzed via T pair T tests & Kruskal wallis. Based on outcomes of the research, increase of energy consumption in a year after implementing targeted subsidies scheme were encountered in investigated hospitals. There was no relation between the amount of energy sources consumption in the year before and after the implementation of this economical reform (P>0/05). Two hospitals had a negligible negative growth rate in consumption of electricity however the test of Kruskal wallis targeted subsidies had no meaningful influence on energy saving. It can be concluded, setting up policies such targeted subsidies cannot results in energy consumption optimizing automatically and for obtaining this goal, the right management of energy consumption and the accurate implementing of the energy consumption optimizing's method is necessary.
