History
The Policy Development Group was one of four groups established in 1975-76 to carry on the responsibilities of the Ministry office. In 1978 the group was renamed the Conventional Energy Program, which was now one of five programs within the Ministry.
By 1985, the Ministry had grown and as such it organized its programs into three divisions. The functions of the Conventional Energy Program and its predecessor became the responsibility of the Policy and Planning Division. This Division was organized into four sections: Oil and Gas; Electricity; Economics and Forecasts; and Finance, Rates and Utilization.
In 1987 the Ministry began a restructuring program which established seven branches to oversee the responsibilities of the Ministry. The functions of the Policy and Planning Division were divided among two of these branches: the Policy Development Branch and the Energy Liaison and Planning Branch.
