Energy insurance
What is Energy and Renewable Energy Insurance?
Energy and Renewable Energy Insurance is designed to protect businesses involved in the generation, supply, development and distribution of energy, including traditional energy operations and renewable energy projects such as solar, wind, hydroelectric and battery storage.
Unlike standard commercial insurance, specialist energy insurance can be tailored to address the technical, operational and environmental risks associated with energy production, infrastructure and engineering activities.
Cover can be arranged for different stages of a project, from initial construction and installation through to ongoing operation and maintenance.
