UNITEN has taken an initiative to collaborate with TERI to work on common solutions of the energy resources issues. The first step is the establishment of Centre for Energy and Environment Studies, known as Institute of Energy Policy and Research or IEPRe in the Universiti Tenaga Nasional or UNITEN. IEPRe is expected to undertake interdisciplinary research on issues related to energy and environment, which would aid the government, corporate, and other stakeholders in making informed decisions. It would also create and disseminate knowledge related to energy and environment through short-term courses as well as through postgraduate and doctoral courses. The aim of IEPRe would be to enrich the existing knowledge base on a number of aspects of energy and environment such as energy economics, renewable energy, climate change, energy security, energy efficiency, energy-poverty linkages, energy sector reforms and regulations, and others.
