kWh Analytics Wins Celent Model Insurer Innovation Execution Award

Company recognized for its use of enhanced modeling and industry collaboration to advance renewable energy resilience

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--kWh Analytics, a leader in underwriting the energy transition through its licensed insurance subsidiary, Solar Energy Insurance Services, has been awarded the Model Insurer Award for Innovation Execution by Celent, a global research and advisory firm for the financial services industry. Now in its 20^th year, the Celent Model Insurer Awards recognize excellence in technology usage within the insurance industry, celebrating innovative practices and outstanding results. Submissions are judged on three core criteria: demonstrable business benefits, degree of innovation, and technology or implementation excellence.

kWh Analytics was chosen as the recipient of this prestigious global award for its demonstrated results in advancing renewable energy resilience by spearheading industry collaboration and strengthening its data models to incorporate resilience factors. The company’s initiative to reward resilience is based on its belief that solar, wind, and battery projects that invest in design, development, and operations to actively reduce their assets’ exposure deserve to be recognized.

“Extreme weather events and demanding data centers are underscoring the need for a robust and resilient grid and making insurers’ role in enabling power supply growth more critical than ever,” said kWh Analytics CEO Jason Kaminsky. “We are honored to be recognized by Celent for our initiatives to encourage asset owners to prioritize risk management which in turn strengthens sector stability and insurability and drives continued growth and innovation.”

kWh Analytics has been able to significantly enhance its ability to reward resiliency measures by taking a two-pronged approach: leading industry collaboration to promote renewable energy resilience and enhancing the company’s proprietary Renewable Energy Adjusted Loss (REAL) Model to account for physical resilience features that reduce the risk of natural catastrophe damage to renewable energy projects. This physics and loss base approach significantly improves risk differentiation, enabling the company to implement transparent pricing that rewards resilient design and operational practices.

Celent will feature kWh Analytics in a case study, further highlighting the company’s innovation execution. The case study will provide a detailed look at the company’s collaborative approach to enhancing its model using secondary modifiers, enabling it to offer the most accurate and effective insurance on the market.

The Celent Model Insurer Award for Innovation Execution marks the latest in a string of industry honors for kWh Analytics. In 2025, the company was awarded Sustainable Insurer of the Year and Climate Risk Transfer Deal of the Year by InsuranceERM, and named a finalist for Insurance Insider US Underwriting Innovation of the Year. In addition, kWh Analytics was awarded $500,000 from InnSure’s Insurance Innovation Prize supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).
