Specialist insurance for renewable energy construction projects

Supporting the drive towards net zero, our insurance solutions are specifically designed for projects using renewable energy technologies such as hydro, solar, and wind power. Empowering sustainable energy with intelligent risk protection.

It’s very refreshing to be dealing with an underwriter who shares our hunger, enthusiasm & willingness to service their clients so efficiently

Innovative coverage to support ambitious targets

The move towards sustainable energy has led to a boom in construction energy projects.

This will be further boosted by a wave of investment in new installations and re-powering of existing installations, especially where planning permission and ancillary infrastructure already exists.

Government-backed initiatives are in place, and over £40bn of private investment in clean energy in the UK since July 2025 alone.

With renewables expected to meet almost half of global electricity demand by 2030, demand for specialised protection for renewable energy projects is set to surge.
