Renewables Insurance
We believe businesses deserve cover that connects. That’s why we have specialist markets and direct insurers that can see the big picture. They understand the risks across your sector and connect different types of cover and services together to match your business’s needs. It means less chance of policy gaps and overlap, because everything joins up – like it should.
What is Renewables Insurance?
Renewable energy insurance is for businesses and projects operating within the renewable energy sector, including wind parks, solar installations, and battery energy storage systems. Whether you’re looking for insurance as part of the supply chain (Contractors, Engineers, and/or Manufacturers) or as the end customer, both carry different exposures that can put you at risk; this is why Renewables Insurance is vital.

What are the most common types of insurance claims in renewable energy?
Examples
Property damage claims are often caused by natural disasters, equipment failure, vandalism or theft. Businesses may also face liability claims arising from injuries to third parties, for example from falling solar panels, as well as environmental damage, such as water contamination from hydro plants.
A burning inverter at a solar farm caused fire, heat, and smoke damage to modules. The inverter was made safe, and the site was able to continue operating at a reduced capacity. Insurer paid for a replacement inverter under Material Damage cover, and the claim for loss of revenue was £200,000.
A number of EV charge points were damaged following flooding at a car park. The claim was settled in full, with replacement charge points installed under the Material Damage section of cover and support provided under the Business Interruption section, helping the business get back up and running as quickly as possible
When should we speak to an insurance broker?
Ideally, during the design phase of your project, so we can engage with insurers early and help ensure the project meets their requirements before construction begins. However, wherever you are in the process, please get in touch with our team and we can help facilitate discussions with insurers
