History.
The Department of Energy was created by then President Marcos as he issued Presidential Decree No. 1206 which created the Ministry of Energy and attached the National Power Corporation and Philippine National Oil Company to this new agency.

During the regime of President Fidel V. Ramos, the Department was created due to Republic Act No. 7638 otherwise known as the "Department of Energy Act of 1992".
The Department was vested additional powers and functions under pertinent energy and power-related legislations, such as Republic Act (RA) No. 9136 or the "Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001", RA No. 9367 or "Biofuels Act of 2006", RA No. 9513 or "Renewable Energy Act of 2008, and RA No. 11285 or "Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act."
