CReDO
Connected Places Catapult's Climate Resilience Demonstrator (CReDo) models the dependencies between energy, water, telecoms and transport networks to show how extreme weather cascades from one to another.
What is reusable: unknown sourceunknown dataAPI unknownunknown participation
Weather data is joined to models of several infrastructure networks.1 Owners and operators can then follow a flood, a heatwave or strong winds from one network into the others, down to individual assets, and see where investment would reduce the risk.1,3
The work has run as a series of projects:1
- an original demonstrator on flooding across energy, water and telecoms1
- an Extreme Heat project on water networks, funded by the Ofwat Breakthrough Challenge1
- CReDo+, a beta project for which UK Power Networks and partners secured nearly £10 million from the Strategic Innovation Fund (Ofgem and Innovate UK), extending the twin to energy-network risk1
- a December 2025 white paper on applying CReDo to transport3
A minimum viable product was shown in a webinar on 17 September 2026.2 User trials are under way, and the final platform release is planned for March 2028.2 Access is by contact with the Catapult.1

Water reaches one substation; water pumping and communications can go down with it.
