Incredibly proud to share that kWh Analytics has been recognized for Sustainable Insurance Initiative of the Year by InsuranceERM Climate and Sustainability Awards! Resilient renewable energy isn’t just possible - it’s profitable - and I know I discuss resiliency on here everyday, but the incredible team at kWh Analytics is actually doing something about it. Clean energy assets that can withstand larger hailstones, stronger hurricanes, and shifting flood zones aren’t just good for business, they’re essential for our climate future. We're using data, analytics, and underwriting expertise to reward the solar, wind, and battery assets that are proactive in mitigating natural catastrophe risk, and incentivizing the rest of the market to follow suit. When projects stow against hail, maintain their sites against fire risk, and thoughtfully consider geographic perils in their design, they should see those efforts recognized by their insurers. That's the future we're building, and I'm grateful to InsuranceERM for recognizing this mission. Most important of all - thank you to all my colleagues at kWh Analytics. None of this happens without you.

We're honored to be named Sustainable Insurance Initiative of the Year by InsuranceERM Climate Risk and Sustainability Awards! Through our property insurance program, we reward renewable energy projects that take steps to protect against natural disasters. The data is clear: when projects invest in resilience, they see a real impact on insurance costs - so if your projects stow against hail, mow to prevent fire, and site equipment for geographic perils, get a kWhote. Thank you to our partners, clients, and dedicated team who make this work possible! Read the news: https://lnkd.in/dEuRSrzp
