The institute maintains a comprehensive and efficiently monitored energy management system designed to optimize electricity consumption across all campuses. The total annual electricity usage reaches approximately 1,200,000 kWh, combining both renewable and conventional energy sources utilized for academic, administrative, and residential purposes.
Out of this total, around 460,000 kWh (38.3%) is generated from renewable solar energy, while approximately 740,000 kWh (61.7%) is sourced from the national electricity grid. This remarkable share of renewable generation reflects the institute’s strong commitment to sustainability and the transition toward clean energy systems.
The solar energy is produced by a wide network of photovoltaic (PV) panels installed on the rooftops of academic buildings, laboratories, and dormitories. These systems are supported by smart inverters and real-time energy monitoring dashboards that ensure high operational efficiency and reliability. The solar network operates as a decentralized energy system, directly feeding renewable electricity into the institute’s internal power grid.
Meanwhile, the remaining grid-supplied electricity (61.7%) is being gradually reduced through a combination of energy-saving technologies such as smart lighting systems, automated HVAC controls, motion-based sensors, and digital energy management software. These innovations have significantly minimized energy wastage and improved overall operational performance.
Through this hybrid energy model — with nearly 40% of total consumption covered by renewable sources — the institute demonstrates its dedication to SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), and SDG 13 (Climate Action). The ongoing expansion of solar capacity and efficiency programs aims to further increase the renewable energy share in the coming years, positioning the institute as a regional leader in sustainable campus energy management.
