Featuring case studies from leading renewable energy stakeholders, the report highlights the successes and lessons learned from renewable energy assets that have withstood severe weather events.

kWh Analytics, the market leader in Climate Insurance,  announced the release of its inaugural Resilient Power Report, a compilation of case studies highlighting the resilience of renewable energy assets when intelligent engineering, proactive operational strategies, and collaborative risk management are implemented throughout the entire value chain.

The Resilient Power Report was created as a companion piece to kWh Analytics’ widely read annual Solar Risk Assessment report, now in its seventh year. While the Solar Risk Assessment details risks identified by industry experts to solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) assets, the Resilient Power Report showcases the successes and lessons learned from projects that have withstood severe weather events.

“The assets we’re building today need to operate reliably for 30+ years in a climate that’s becoming less predictable,” said Jason Kaminsky, kWh Analytics’ CEO. “We can and should learn from the projects that are getting natural catastrophe resilience right and scale those solutions across the industry.”

The Resilient Power Report features case studies from four industry contributors, each highlighting scalable resilience lessons learned from projects exposed to severe weather conditions:

• When Insurance Drives Innovation: How Risk Assessment Transformed Municipal Solar Operations – kWh Analytics
• Extreme Weather Resilience Lessons from Satellite Imagery – National Renewable Energy Laboratory
• Tech Review of New Defensive Hail Stow System Confirms 100% Success Across Multi-Day Severe Convective Storm Outbreak in Arkansas – VDE Americas
• Building Wind Resiliency on the Frontlines: Lessons from Mayreau – Azimuth Advisory Services

kWh Analytics has been a pioneer in encouraging industry collaboration to improve the resilience of renewable energy assets and reward projects that implement protective measures through its underwriting process.

“Rising energy requirements and costs demand that the renewable energy industry succeed, and the case studies in this report prove we can,” said Kaminsky. “By documenting and scaling what works, we can build renewables infrastructure that’s worthy of a long and sustainable energy future.”
