Tata Power and University of Warwick Form Strategic Energy Alliance

04 Mar 2026 CW Team

The collaboration builds on expertise within Warwick Manufacturing Group, one of the university's largest academic departments, and the School of Engineering, which has announced a renewed focus on energy systems. The university will apply research across semiconductors, components, power electronics, machines and drives to support a shift from fossil fuels to electrification, grid innovation and system level storage solutions. Systems level thinking will inform work with large scale energy users to provide investment road maps and demonstrator projects.

The university emphasises the application of artificial intelligence enabled modelling and control techniques to enhance system stability, resilience and efficiency across national, regional and microgrid scale infrastructures, integrating renewables — particularly wind — alongside energy storage and hydrogen technologies. Warwick leadership described the timing as opportune given a free trade agreement between the UK and India and noted longstanding research relationships with Indian industry, including the Tata Group, which have been recognised by awards for partnership. Existing programmes in circular materials, battery innovation and industrial decarbonisation will contribute to industrial and societal impact.

Tata Power will leverage the collaboration to accelerate its consumer centric green energy ambitions and decarbonisation pathway, aligning research with operational priorities. The company reports a diversified portfolio of 16.3 gigawatt (GW) and seven point five GW of clean energy, constituting 46 per cent of total capacity, and is committed to achieving Net Zero by 2045 while serving 13 million (mn) customers. The partners expect the alliance to support talent development, global academic engagement and scalable industrial solutions to advance a sustainable energy transition.

The Tata Power Company Limited and the University of Warwick have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on research and innovation in new energy systems. The agreement will direct joint work on grid modernisation, fast charging, advanced power storage, industrial decarbonisation, digital energy systems and optimisation, and will explore advanced manufacturing approaches. The partnership will also consider industry aligned executive education, capability development, exchanges, technical workshops and joint case study development to strengthen long term research capability.
