| Work Detail |
The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), Ministry of Power, Government of India, and The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on January 24, 2025, in Hyderabad to establish the Centre of Excellence for Energy Transition (CoEET) within TERI’s Institute of Energy Transition (IoET) at its Hyderabad campus. This partnership aims to drive innovation, research, policy advocacy, and capacity building to accelerate India’s energy transition and sustainable development. The MoU was signed in the presence of Shri Manohar Lal, Hon’ble Union Minister of Power and Housing & Urban Affairs, and Shri A Revanth Reddy, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Telangana, along with senior officials from the Ministry of Power, BEE, the Government of Telangana, and TERI. The CoEET is envisioned as a world-class knowledge hub dedicated to advancing energy transition technologies and policies. By fostering collaborations with national and international stakeholders, the Centre will enhance India’s ability to tackle energy transition challenges and develop solutions aligned with global sustainability goals. Hon’ble Union Minister Shri Manohar Lal emphasized that the Centre of Excellence for Energy Transition reflects India’s commitment to sustainable development, driving clean energy adoption and global leadership in the low-carbon transition. Dr. Vibha Dhawan, TERI DG, highlighted the Centre’s focus on advancing climate and energy research, fostering innovation, and providing holistic solutions through collaboration with various sectors. Mr. Srikant Nagulapalli, BEE DG, underscored the Centre’s role in driving energy efficiency, low-carbon technologies, and capacity building to achieve national energy goals. The Centre of Excellence for Energy Transition (CoEET) will drive research and innovation in emissions reduction, energy efficiency, and clean technology adoption. It will focus on baselining GHG emissions across industries, MSMEs, buildings, transport, power, and mining sectors, while validating and promoting low-carbon technologies such as energy-efficient motors, HVAC systems, advanced lighting, waste heat recovery, and smart manufacturing systems. The Centre will also develop frameworks for building codes, minimum energy performance standards (MEPS), and circular economy models to accelerate the energy transition. By integrating innovations like AI-enabled real-time energy monitoring, the CoEET aims to enhance efficiency across energy generation, transmission, and distribution, reducing losses significantly. The establishment of the IoET and its Centres of Excellence, including CoEET, positions Hyderabad as a global hub for energy, environment, and sustainability advancements. By uniting policymakers, researchers, industries, and academia, TERI is making meaningful strides toward India’s clean energy and climate objectives. The CoEET demonstrates the transformative power of partnerships between government and research institutions, driving innovation, building capacity, and advancing solutions to global climate challenges. It stands as a cornerstone in accelerating India’s journey toward a sustainable, resilient future. |
