History
The Energy Branch was formed in 1964 when the Ontario Department of Energy and Resources Management was created. It resulted from a merger of three branches formerly within the Department of Energy Resources: the Drilling and Production Branch, the Inspection Services Branch and the Energy Studies Branch.
In 1970, the Energy Branch was transferred to the Department of Labour, where it formed part of the Safety and Technical Services Division.
In 1972, the Energy Branch moved to the newly formed Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations, and was located within the Technical Stardards Division. In 1974 or 1975 it became known as the Energy Safety Branch. In 1978, the Energy Branch was replaced with the Fuels Safety Branch.
