UNSW Digital Grid Futures Institute (DGFI) exists to build interdisciplinary capability and empower future generations to address the complex societal and technical challenges of the energy transition. Even with its transformative breakthroughs and advancements, academic research often doesn’t realise its full potential. This can limit its profound impact whilst the world is undergoing a once-in-a-generation transformation of its energy system to be powered by clean energy.

Our mission is to enable the electrification of society for a smart, sustainable future through interdisciplinary research, innovation, and education. Recognising that the transition to a decarbonised energy system requires collective effort, we emphasise that everyone has a pivotal role to play in this journey.
