Institute for Integrated Energy Systems

The Institute for Integrated Energy Systems (IESVic) was formed in 1989 by researchers in energy technology and systems analysis to develop high-quality, affordable, and environmentally compatible energy systems. IESVic became an interdisciplinary research centre in 1994 with a targeted research program on hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, technoeconomics of energy systems, and transportation. Today, the Institute's work involves strategic clean technologies, electrification and system integration, built environment, energy-economy-policy modeling, and integrated planning for water-energy-land systems. IESVic provides leadership at the University of Victoria in the study of critical energy issues, human dimensions of energy, education and training, and works closely with industry, not-for-profits, and government.
