    PNGUoT SERI is aPrivate-Public-Partnership (PPP) organisation owned jointly by Papua New Guinea University of Technology, The Government of PNG and start-up collaboration with Mayur Power Generation (MPG Ltd).

    SERI was inaugurated in 2017By Dr Ora Renagi with a mandate to initiate, participate, collaborate and enhance PNGUoT staff and student-inclusive research activities in the area of sustainable (renewable and non-renewable) energy research, energy technology development and deployment, for the benefit of the University, our collaborators, the Government and People of PNG, and entire mankind.
