Energy Systems Network

An initiative of the Central Indiana Corporate Partnership focused on Indiana’s clean technology opportunity.

Clean technologies, or ‘cleantech’ is the collection of industries that bring energy innovations to consumers – from putting hybrid and plug-in electric vehicles on our highways to building the ‘smart grid’ and other advances that make renewable energy a realistic option for families and businesses.

 The Energy Systems Network (ESN) is the new Indiana-based cleantech initiative.  The ESN is a catalyst for partnerships among private firms and research institutions to bring energy breakthroughs to market, leveraging Indiana’s strong manufacturing sector, R&D capabilities, and heritage of engineering advanced power systems. Cleantech sub-sectors like wind and solar power, plug-in/hybrid electric vehicles, second generation biofuels, distributed power generation, and systems integration are each projected to grow to more than $70 billion over the next ten years, collectively accounting for a more than $350B global market.  Indiana has unique strengths in all of these areas, and the ESN aims to make the state a center for energy innovation, attracting new investment and creating ‘green jobs’ for Hoosiers.
