History
The Ministry of Energy, Science and Technology was created in late 1997 when the Ministry of Environment and Energy was divided to form the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Energy, Science and Technology.
The ministry was divided into the Energy Division and the Science and Technology Division, and also maintained a Market Design Committee Secretariat.
Agencies which reported to the ministry included the Ontario Energy Board and Ontario Hydro.
On April 14, 2002, the Ministry was dissolved and the Energy functions of the Ministry of Energy, Science and Technology were assigned to the re-established Ministry of Environment and Energy, while the Science and Technology Division moved to the newly-formed Ministry of Enterprise, Opportunity and Innovation.
