History

The Institute for Energy Transition traces its origins to the establishment of the Pusat Pengkajian Energi UI (PEUI) on April 30th, 1994, following an initial gathering of energy studies enthusiasts at Universitas Indonesia. After extensive preparation, on June 22, 1994, the Chancellor of Universitas Indonesia, Prof. Dr. dr. Muhammad Kamil Tadjudin Sp.And, formally approved the creation of the PEUI as a university-level activity unit focused on the energy sector.
 
Following a period of refinement and activity, in March 1995, the PEUI was reclassified as an Activity Unit under the Universitas Indonesia Research Institute (LP-UI), which was later renamed the Directorate of Research and Community Service (DRPM-UI). Since 2005, the PEUI has been part of the Faculty of Engineering, employing over 15 experts with Doctoral and Master’s degrees in energy and related fields. Through continuous development and collaboration, the PEUI has been tasked with advancing the FTUI’s vision of enhancing interdisciplinary research in the energy domain.
 

The energy studies in engineering faculty of Universitas Indonesia began to accelerate in 2015 with the development of three research centers: Tropical Renewable Energy Centre (TREC), Sustainable Energy Systems and Policy (SESP), and Advanced Material Research Center (AMRC). Therefore with broader scope, the PEUI reintroduced itself as the Institute of Energy Transition, whose main goal is to become an even bigger hub in energy research, education, and services.
