We understand your renewable energy project's risks
Your renewable energy projects face many challenges and unique risks. We know it can be tough to find adequate renewable energy insurance, but we're here to support you.
- Assessing the risk
Every renewable energy project should begin with a thorough assessment of the risks associated with your plant. Regardless of the project's technology, it's essential to carry out due diligence. - Risk management
From the early planning through to construction and completion, your project will face different risks. Identifying these risks and having plans in place to manage them is crucial. - Crisis support
There's never a good time for a crisis to hit. Still, with the correct management and advice before, during and after an incident, we'll help your project survive the unforeseen.

Risks your renewable energy project might face
Maybe this is your first project, or perhaps you're an experienced investor.
Whatever your situation, arranging insurance cover and mitigating risks – such as environmental hazards, theft, equipment damage, financial, health and site management – should all be prioritised during the planning process.

Risks that result from planning decisions
Planning that involves collaboration with various stakeholders can present challenges. It's essential to be aware that assumptions made while planning your project may become apparent at a later stage.
For example, decisions made early in the process could result in the project being suspended or even cancelled due to finance, procurement fails or technological risks. Abortive planning cover will protect your project against these risks.

Risks that construction agreements can create
Significant risks to your project that need identifying, rationalising and managing will be driven by agreements made during the concept and planning stages.
So, it's important to seek financial advice relating to your agreement when applying for funding at the pre-construction stage and immediately before construction begins.
When you're arranging contractors and planning the design of your project, speak to your broker to understand what's needed to get cover once your site is operational. Your time invested at this stage will mitigate the risk of having to change designs and fittings in the future – avoiding costly delays to your project.

Risks at operational stages
Suppose your project needs a high level of financial investment. In that case, it will likely be high profile and require a steady, long-term financial return.
Any loss of productivity or interruption to an energy plant's intended performance may have long-lasting consequences for everyone involved.
