The Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources has been given the mandate to make substantial progress on the following priority:

• Create a Roadmap for the future of BC energy that will drive innovation, expand energy efficiency and conservation programs, generate new energy responsibly and sustainably, and create good, lasting jobs across the province.
