Centre for Research in All-electric Future Technologies (CRAFT)

Image divided into three vertical sections, showing, left to right, solar panels, an electricity transmission tower and an electric vehicle charging.

We envision leading the transition towards an all‑electric world, driving change across the entire energy landscape from sustainable power generation to the electrification and AI‑enhancement of everyday energy use.

Part of Electronics and computer science

The Centre for Research in All-electric Future Technologies (CRAFT) investigates the full energy chain of electricity, from its generation and distribution to its end‑use. Our research focuses on sustainable power generation, smart grids, sector‑wide electrification, and advancing energy sustainability through digitalisation and AI‑driven solutions.
