Scope and Content Note

This series documents the work of the State Energy Office to compile and adopt a "master plan for energy-related decisions throughout the state" as required by Energy Law Sect. 5-111. Since the expiration of Sect. 5-111 (effective Jan. 1, 1984), the SEO's authority to compile the State Master plan has derived from executive orders.

The 1979 plan files also contain files of the State Energy Planning Board, including agenda, resolutions, notes, minutes, and correspondence.
