Our impact in 2024
Impact evaluation - blogs
Accelerating green growth and shaping the future with AI – Charles Parkinson
At the heart of our work is a dedication to driving real-world impact, and there’s nothing more rewarding than witnessing the achievements of the businesses we support. This quarter alone, SMEs who have worked with us have raised close to £6 million in public and private investment, pushing the total since we began working with them to an impressive £610 million.
Powering progress: supporting the UK’s Net Zero energy innovators – Matt Friend
Our commitment to driving clean tech innovation and supporting SME innovators has yielded remarkable results. In 2024/25, we made great progress in the pursuit of Net Zero and helping Britain’s innovators to thrive.
Helping the UK’s most exciting clean energy innovators thrive in the future system – Guy Newey
The last few years have been rough. First COVID-19 brought us to a standstill, then the global energy crisis wrought havoc on businesses and consumers alike. Yet, despite all of this, the UK’s clean energy innovators such as AMP-X, GridDuck, Demand Logic, Voltempo, and SMPnet Ltd, have continued to reimagine how we get to Net Zero.
How we’re driving employment and investment in clean tech innovators – Matt Friend
Unleashing the economic potential of SMEs and innovators is a central pillar of our mission. We pride ourselves on the support we provide to clean tech innovators in the UK and abroad, helping them to realise their potential and bring their products to market.
Impact evaluation - reports
Understanding decarbonisation in the public sector
Public sector buildings account for just 2–3% of the UK’s total emissions, yet they present a unique opportunity for government to lead by example, stimulate supply chains and build capacity across the wider built environment. This piece of work evaluates the impact the Catapult’s work has had in this area.
Difference-in-differences: Analysis of SME impacts
This report was commissioned by Energy Systems Catapult and carried out by SQW, it applies a quasi‑experimental “difference‑in‑differences” (DiD) methodology to estimate the causal impact of the Catapult’s support on the growth of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the energy innovation space.
Net Zero Go impact report
Net Zero Go is a digital platform supporting local authorities to accelerate their Net Zero projects, by providing the knowledge, tools, and connections needed for success.
ITES Impact Report Year 2 (2023/24)
Growing concern around the pace of transport decarbonisation and the need to unleash innovation in the UK and India has made the work of ITES even more important in 2023-4.
ITES Impact Report Year 3 (2024/25)
Building on the momentum of previous years, the 2024–25 report highlights how ITES has continued to unlock commercial opportunities for UK innovators while addressing global net zero challenges.
The Catapult’s role in influencing electricity market reform
In this report, we examine the impact the Catapult has had on reform of electricity markets and access. We firmly believe that the electricity market reforms we have advocated will accelerate Net Zero energy innovation and help to drive investment into low carbon generation, network enhancements and flexibility.
The Catapult’s role in supporting Open Data in the UK energy sector
In this we report we examine the impact the Catapult has had since 2017 on open data sharing and access. Our evaluation work in this area aims to test the degree to which this has occurred, and further understand the Catapult’s impact in driving these outcomes.
Energy Systems Catapult’s Evaluation Framework 2022/23 – 2027/28
We have developed a clear evaluation approach and logic model, within this impact evaluation framework. In line with best practice set we are taking a theory-based approach to evaluation. Within the overall frame of theory-based impact evaluation methods, we are following a contribution analysis approach, taking into account the complex nature of our interventions and how their impacts are generated.
Warm Homes Prescription Impact and Value for Money report
This report provides an Impact and Value for Money assessment of Energy Systems Catapult’s Warm Home Prescription (WHP) project, which was supported by BP. It has been produced by the Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research (CRESR) at Sheffield Hallam University.
Insights and Impact from the first three years of the Energy Launchpad
After 18 months of incredible growth, which has seen more SMEs than ever before access Energy Launchpad’s support offerings, the results of a recent survey shows that our SMEs and their businesses have overwhelmingly benefitted from the targeted support we have been able to provide.
