Tata Power and University of Warwick have entered into a strategic Memorandum of Understanding to advance research in artificial intelligence–enabled energy systems, grid innovation and industrial decarbonisation.
The collaboration will focus on grid modernization, fast charging, advanced power storage, digital energy systems, optimisation and advanced manufacturing approaches. A strong emphasis will be placed on systems-level thinking to achieve efficient and economically viable industrial decarbonisation.
Established programmes at Warwick Manufacturing Group and the School of Engineering already support advances in circular materials, battery innovation, wind energy, artificial intelligence and industrial decarbonisation.
Professor David Towers, Head of the School of Engineering, said: “By applying artificial intelligence–enabled modelling and control techniques, we are developing solutions that enhance system stability, resilience, and efficiency. Our research spans national, regional, and microgrid-scale infrastructures, integrating renewables — particularly wind — alongside energy storage and hydrogen technologies. We look forward to working with Tata Power to translate these capabilities into scalable, industrially relevant decarbonisation pathways.”
Professor Stuart Croft said: “We strive to make a better world through our world-leading research and education. Our partnership with Tata Power marries our academic excellence with leading industry expertise to help advance a more sustainable future for people, places, and our planet.”
“Tata Power is committed to transforming India’s energy landscape,” said Dr Praveer Sinha. “Our vision is to empower a billion lives through sustainable, affordable, and innovative energy solutions, and we are making strong progress toward that goal. We are building a consumer-centric green energy future anchored in decarbonization, reliable and affordable power, and long-term sustainability. Our agreement with the University of Warwick -an institution with a distinguished track record in electrification and sustainability will further accelerate our ambitions and strengthen the pathway to achieving them.”
The partnership will also explore executive education programmes, capability development initiatives, exchange opportunities, technical workshops and joint case study development — reinforcing long-term research capability and industry-ready talent development.
