Tata Power Company and The University of Warwick have signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to deliver research and innovation in grid modernization, fast charging, power storage, industrial decarbonisation, digital energy systems, optimisation and advanced manufacturing approaches.

The collaboration will also explore industry-aligned executive education programmes, capability development initiatives, exchange opportunities, technical workshops, and joint case study development. Together, these efforts mark an important step toward strengthening long-term research capability, talent development, and global academic engagement aligned with Tata Power’s strategic priorities.

The agreement builds upon decades of expertise established at Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) - one of the University’s largest academic departments - and the School of Engineering. The University also announced a renewed focus on energy systems, which will support the partnership.

The University has long-established research groups focused across the energy spectrum, from semiconductors, to components, power electronics, machines and drives (PEMD) to full energy systems. By increasing collaboration across these areas, and focusing on power supply, the University will be able to support partners, such as Tata Power, in decarbonisation. This will include the shift from fossil fuels to electrification, grid innovation, advanced power storage and a system-level focus.

Established research programmes within WMG and the School of Engineering already support advances in sustainable energy, including circular materials, battery innovation, wind energy, artificial intelligence, and industrial decarbonisation, contributing to national and international targets to reduce carbon emissions and costs.

Tata Power Company is India’s largest integrated power company. It is a pioneer credited with steering the energy sector on technology, process and platform.
