The energy and transport sectors contribute more than 75% of emissions and full electrification combined with increased electricity generation from renewables is key to decarbonise these sectors. Large-scale electrification of energy and transport will significantly impact the electricity grid, requiring Australia to double renewable generation by 2050 to meet zero-emission targets. Current grids lack capacity and coordinated charging systems, posing major challenges for widespread EV adoption. This Centre will train skilled, industry-ready researchers and develop data-driven, machine learning solutions for efficient grid planning and operation under mass electrification. It will also create mechanisms to engage consumers and accelerate industry adoption through strong partnerships and co-designed projects.
