We're delighted that the British Data Awards have recognised the Climate Change Initiative that NatWest developed with D-CAT. By delivering rapid solar energy estimates for buildings and land parcels across the UK, we're proud that the online tool is driving business adoption of solar as part of the bank's Sustainability Solutions product.

The British Data Awards is an annual quest to discover and celebrate the UK’s data success stories. Organisations taking part this year range from FTSE 100 heavyweights, public sector innovators, technology unicorns, fast-growing scale-ups, critical Not-For-Profits, and everything in between.

To have been down-selected from 448 entries and nominated for the Climate Change Initiative of the Year is an honour, and recognition of the importance of increasing the momentum towards renewable energy adoption and the impact that the right tools can have in doing so.

 Jason Johnson, Co-Founder of Predatech and British Data Awards judge said: “Judging so many excellent entries really is a huge challenge but also an enormous privilege. Every organisation named a Finalist this year should be exceptionally proud of this achievement. By sharing your data success stories with us, you’re also helping to showcase the strength and vibrancy of the UK’s data ecosystem, and I can’t wait to celebrate your achievements on the 14th of May.”

Dr Moira Smith, CTO and co-founder of D-CAT said "It's wonderful to receive this recognition for what's been achieved by building such a great partnership with the Innovation Team for Climate Data and Proposition Team at NatWest. The reward is seeing the numbers of businesses engage in the move to solar energy on the back of the tool, but we're very grateful and proud to have the solution and team behind it recognised like this."
