    Wind power alone could account for USD 100 billion in premiums between 2022-2035. But what will it take to help insurers and operators across the value chain? 🌊Building in tough environments Offshore wind farms offer access to stronger, more stable winds, resulting in reliable power output. However, ensuring offshore wind turbines are built to operate in the extreme weather conditions of ocean environments is key. 💨Managing resource volatility Like other renewable sources, wind power inherently suffers from resource volatility. Climate change is also projected to alter global wind patterns. Insurance can be instrumental in enhancing projects’ attractiveness to lenders as it enables bankability. For example, index-triggered insurance can protect against income loss, allowing operators and investors to focus on growth with a smoother balance sheet. 🧠Risk knowledge Initiatives like the Offshore Code of Practice (OCoP) help insurers and project participants to reduce their risk exposure, including any impacts from climate change and ensure project quality. At Swiss Re, we support clients tackle these challenge - with risk expertise, innovative products, and reinsurance capacity. Learn more: https://ow.ly/oQ5w50TAWsH
