Wind optimisation software company Clir Renewables has been shortlisted for start-up of the year at the European Wind Investment Awards.
The inaugural European Wind Investment Awards celebrate best practice in the European wind industry as it transitions to a zero-subsidy future.
Canada-headquartered Clir Renewables has commercialised a cloud-based artificial intelligence platform that provides asset managers and owners with tools to maximise annual energy production and provide clarity on portfolio performance.
Founded in early 2017, the company supports over 4GW of assets worldwide with clients typically seeing increases of up to 5% in annual energy production in the first year.
Clir Renewables business development global director Craig McCall said: “We’re delighted to make the shortlist.
“It is great for the Clir Renewables team to receive industry recognition for all the hard work put in over the last two and a half years.”
The start-up category recognises the progression and positive impact of companies who entered the wind industry within the last five years.
Clir Renewables is competing with High Speed Energy and Ripple Energy for the prize.
Hosted by A Word About Wind, the award winners will be announced at a black-tie dinner in London this October.
