Center for Clean Energy at Plaksha University

About this project

Plaksha University, located in Mohali, Punjab, India, is renowned for its interdisciplinary and advanced technology programs spanning from undergraduate to Ph.D. levels.

IVL Foundation is supporting Plaksha University to build the Indorama Ventures Center for Clean Energy (IVCCE). This initiative aims to lead India’s transition to clean energy through education and research. This center has a vision of steering India’s energy sector towards decarbonization, self-sufficiency, and grid security, thereby ensuring access to clean and secure energy for all.

In 2025, IVCCE made significant strides in advancing clean energy innovation and impact. Key milestones included the commissioning of the Thermal Energy Storage Living Lab, the expansion of its core team, and progress across four major research areas: Urban Microclimate, Decarbonizing Residential Cooling, Smart Buildings, and Smart Microgrids.

Their work led to new publications, policy recommendations, useful tools, consulting projects, and training programs, helping to create real impact in the clean energy space.
