      The Policy Division was established with the creation of the new integrated Ministry of the Environment and Energy in 1993. By 1997, the Ministry underwent further restructuring and the Division ceased to exist.

      At various times during its history, the Policy Division included : the Energy Conservation and Liaison and Planning Branch, the Policy Development Branch (corporate government policy), the Electricity Policy Branch, the Economic Services Branch, the Intergovernmental Affairs Office (interjurisdictional energy policy), and the Aboriginal Affairs Office among others.

      When the Ministry was re-established from April 2002-August 2002, many of the functions and branches found in this Policy Division had been placed in the Energy Division under the Ministry of Energy, Science and Technology (1997-2002); that Energy Division was then placed under the re-established Ministry of Environment and Energy in April 2002.
