The Programs and Technology Division was created in 1985 as the responsibilities of the Energy Conservation and Renewable Energy Group, its predecessor agency, in administering programs for energy conservation and efficiency increased. The Division consisted of four sections: Conservation and Community Programs section; Research and Energy Technology section; Industry and Transportation Programs section; and Technology Development section. Between about 1987 and about 1991, the Division was referred to as a Branch.
In 1989 the internal structure of the Branch changed. It consisted of three sections with a number of units in each section as follows: Energy Efficiency Section, the Industry Programs Section and the Energy Research and Development Section.
In 1993 when the Ministry underwent restructuring and became the Ministry of Environment and Energy, the Programs and Technology Division continued to exist.
In 1997, when the Ministry was again reorganized and became the Ministry of Energy, Science and Technology, the Division ceased to exist.
