The cluster’s mission? To connect electricity, heat and transport systems in smarter ways, building a cleaner, more resilient energy network for the West Midlands (and then beyond!). A huge thank you to everyone who attended. The “energy” in the room was incredible.

It marks an exciting step forward, bringing together regional innovators, local authorities, researchers and businesses to shape the future of smart, flexible energy systems.

The West Midlands Smart Energy Systems Cluster was off to a flying start last week as we hosted the inaugural Advisory Board meeting in our Birmingham offices. ⚡️

If your school is working on a Climate Action Plan - or needs to start - don’t miss our free webinar on 12 November. We’ll break down what decarbonisation really means for schools and how to take practical, low-cost steps that can have a big impact.

See how we can make your ideas a reality:

“SIF’s priority is finding projects that deliver real value for consumers while making flexibility central as renewables rise,” Nathaniel explains. At Energy Systems Catapult, we combine strategy with hands-on delivery to make bold ideas practical.

Innovation only matters if it works in the real world. We caught up with Nathaniel Bottrell, Senior Advisor – Whole Systems & Networks, to explore how the Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) turns ideas into impact.

Meanwhile, parents enjoyed a few hours of focused work, showing how small initiatives can have a big impact for everyone. It’s a powerful reminder that giving the next generation a boost today builds a brighter, more confident tomorrow. ⭐️

Half term was full of inspiration at Energy Systems Catapult. Staff members’ daughters joined us for a confidence session as part of our ongoing social value work. They made new friends, shared ideas, practiced speaking in front of others, and left brimming with confidence.

That’s exactly what Net Zero Data delivers for public and private sector organisations across the UK. Discover how it works in a 30-minute demo with our Net Zero Data specialists. Book your session today:
