Program Overview
The Energy Bureau houses two sections: Energy Efficiency and Compliance Assistance, and Energy Planning.

The Energy Bureau works toward this vision through specific activities that support our mission to increase Montanan’s access to energy efficiency and renewable energy, improve the state’s energy security, provide analysis of energy trends and issues, and demonstrate the benefits of compliance with environmental regulations through innovation, education, and technical and financial assistance.
