      History

      The Branch was formed in the new Ministry of Energy in 2004, assuming some of the functions of the Energy Division of the Ministry of Energy, Science and Technology. In the early years it was located within the Office of Energy Supply and Conservation. In 2006 it reported to the newly named Office of Energy Supply. When the Ministry of Energy and Infrastrucure was created in 2009, the branch retained its name but reported to the new Division of Energy Supply, Transmission and Distribution Policy.

      When the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure was disbanded in 2011, the branch remained within the Energy Supply, Transmission and Distribution Policy Division in the new Ministry of Energy.

      The Branch currently has two sections, Energy Economics and Energy Markets.
