We've just wrapped up Day One of GCube’s European Risk Seminar 2024 in Porto, Portugal! This latest edition of our annual event for leaders in European renewable energy insurance showcases the programme's ongoing evolution, serving as a robust forum for open dialogue about the market's current state. It’s always hard to summarise all of the important conversations taking place throughout the day, but here is a flavour of some of the key talking points: - Our CEO Fraser McLachlan kicked off proceedings with a high-level overview of the state of play in the renewables insurance market, highlighting that “we’ve got to work collectively and collaboratively together to get away from the boom and bust cycle that we’ve all got used to”. - Jose Espinosa of Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV) discussed FRV’s progress in diversifying its portfolio and how “risk managers are here to accelerate business and improve competitive advantage in the right way”. - The ‘Batteries Not Excluded: Getting Comfortable with BESS’ panel included presentations from Tom Harries from NARDAC, Roberto Jimenez from BW ESS, and GCube’s Oliver Litterick who examined the challenges of ensuring a viable insurance proposition for BESS. “Two main challenges we face: lack of data and lack of standardisation”, said Oliver. “We’re seeing new products every 3 years, and people assume batteries aren’t changing”, said Tom. - And finally, Roy Muñoz and Chris Bender led our fireside chat, ‘Better Call Roy’, which dissected some of the most unique and challenging global claims experienced over the past 12 months, including a unique insight on liability for lost production over dusty fruit…. "Are you Papaya-ing my claim!?” Many thanks to all of our speakers. We’re already looking forward to Day Two! #renewable #energy #insurance

#RenewableEnergy markets remain attractive for insurers looking to secure long-term profitability and boost their ESG credentials, driving new entrants into the space. This is unsurprising, but for the sake of the industry’s progress, it calls for careful consideration over how best to balance competitiveness with robust support for #insureds in a time where #NatCat losses and fast-moving technological innovation can burn the fingers of an unwary insurer. GCube’s Head of London Market Underwriting, Oliver Litterick, discusses recent market trends and how #renewables insurance continues to walk a tightrope between supporting the energy transition and maintaining sustainable business. https://lnkd.in/e6iVyHCA

Renewable Energy - "How to manage rising insurance costs for your solar assets?!" Join my Webinar today at 11:00 am CET. While Denmark is facing a discussion about building a solar park without a fence at the lowest costs, the Netherlands are currently in the focus of every insurer when it comes to solar park assets. And the premium rates tend from 1 per mille to 3 per mille - so, a wide range where you can easily triple your insurance costs without having a strategy and being insurance resilient. Join us for some insights tailored for solar asset owners, developers, and operators as we delve into the evolving landscape of solar insurances. As the industry witnesses rising insurance costs, among others due to extreme weather events, it's crucial to understand how to effectively manage these expenses. We will share strategies on adjusting financial models to accommodate escalating and unpredictable insurance costs, ensuring your projects remain financially viable. I am really looking forward to discuss and evaluate the current developments with Niklas Will, CFA from Encavis AG and José Joaquin Munoz Osuna from Capcora. And many thanks Solarplaza, Celina Gundlach & Nicola Belafatti for organizing the webinar. Please register here: https://lnkd.in/eAm84KRK

Protecting the Future of Energy: Comprehensive Insurance in Oil & Gas Operations! In the dynamic and high-stakes world of oil and gas, robust insurance coverage is more than just a safeguard—it's a cornerstone of sustainable and secure energy production. The complexity of oil and gas operations brings a unique set of challenges and risks, from environmental hazards and operational disruptions to equipment failures and workforce safety issues. Comprehensive insurance plays a critical role in mitigating these risks, ensuring that companies can navigate uncertainties with confidence and resilience. It provides a safety net that protects valuable assets, supports regulatory compliance, and promotes environmental stewardship. By investing in tailored insurance solutions, oil and gas companies not only safeguard their operations but also enhance their capacity to innovate and lead in an ever-evolving energy landscape. Insurance is not just about protection, it's about empowering the industry to achieve long-term success and sustainability. Take control and protect what matters most by sending me a DM to get a competitive quote.

The largest green energy conference “The smarter E” is in front of us. And therefore, I'm even more excited to share that TWAICE has partnered with NARDAC to improve insurance coverage for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). In this collaboration we are addressing long-standing challenges in securing adequate insurance: Key Highlights: 🔋 Proactive Risk Mitigation: By integrating advanced battery analytics with existing mitigation strategies, we can identify and address potential safety issues in advance. This proactive approach significantly reduces the likelihood of catastrophic events like thermal runaway, which have historically deterred insurers. 💰 Improved Insurance Terms: The combination of real-time analytics with AI and traditional risk mitigation strategies allows insurers to offer better coverage terms. This is a game-changer for BESS asset owners, investors, and lenders, making it easier to secure financing and lower development costs. As Tom Harries, Partner at NARDAC, aptly puts it, “The pipeline for BESS projects globally is transformative for further deployment of renewable energy. However, without better management of risks like thermal runaway, insurance capacity will decrease, premiums will rise, financing will be harder to secure, and battery development costs will remain high.” ✅ Research-Backed Insights: Collaborative research with EPRI and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory indicates 97% reduction in energy storage failures since 2018. Despite this, the severity of incidents remains high, making advanced monitoring and analytics crucial. Our partnership with NARDAC leverages these insights to provide tangible financial benefits to the entire energy storage market. Together with NARDAC, we have published a comprehensive whitepaper detailing how data-driven approaches to BESS health can enhance safety and optimize insurance policies. This whitepaper is a must-read for anyone involved in the BESS market 🚀 🔗 Download the whitepaper here 👉🏻 https://lnkd.in/dGVDuRPh Let's embrace innovative technologies and partnerships to transform the future of energy storage insurance. #EnergyStorage #BatteryAnalytics #InsuranceInnovation #TWAICE #NARDAC #RenewableEnergy

Two of the insurance industry’s biggest companies, insurer Zurich and broker Aon, have created a new scheme for hydrogen production to boost the development of a sector viewed as key to the shift to clean energy. The platform will bring together a number of insurers, led by Zurich, to underwrite smaller individual projects of up to $250mn in capital expenditure that would otherwise struggle to find insurance. The projects will be offered a range of cover from construction to operational risks. The development comes at a time of growing concern about whether there is enough capacity in the insurance industry to provide the trillions of dollars of cover that will be required for green energy projects.

𝗭𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗴𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗶𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 Zurich Insurance Group AG will no longer underwrite new gas and oil projects. The insurer is taking a stand against fossil fuels, but will continue to underwrite existing clients in the sector. Zurich insures a range of carbon-energy projects and infrastructures, equivalent to 7% of total commercial premiums. Zurich states this type of insurance is not in line with its net zero emissions goal to be achieved by 2050. AdvantageGo is one of the leading technology providers for underwriters of renewable energy. Low emission electricity sources are predicted to supply 40% of the world’s electricity generation. Renewable energy and carbon credit insurance are widely seen as growth areas for insurance companies. https://shorturl.at/ghUV2 #renewableenergy #reinsurnace #insurance #renewableenergyinsurance
