Mission
The mission of the Administrative and Legal Unit of the Ministry is to complement the work of the technical sections through the provision of timely and effective administrative, legal and regulatory support.
Role
One of the key objectives of the Administrative and Legal Unit is to ensure that the activities and work programmes of the Ministry are accomplished in order to facilitate wider public participation in energy-related matters, along with providing strategic direction in the formulation, execution, revision and supervision of all the policies, programmes, personnel and legislative agenda of the Ministry.
The combination of the energy and business portfolios provide a unique opportunity for the Ministry to investigate and address the issues related to energy and business, as well as the synergies between the two sectors. The adoption of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies provides a pathway for reducing, if not eliminating, the high cost of energy across all sectors. The choices made in the near future regarding how we produce and use energy will determine, not only the extent to which we mitigate the worst impacts of climate change, but also how resilient our energy systems are to the variability of our resources and its many competing demands.
Mrs. Francine Blackman, Permanent Secretary, is the head of the Administrative and Legal Unit.
