02 / Energy Transition

Keep the energy transition moving.

From solar and wind to battery storage, hydrogen, and carbon capture, energy projects connect new technology with complex infrastructure. We design insurance around construction, commissioning, and operation, helping align your risk strategy with the project’s path to revenue.

Project delays and insured delays are different questions.

A project’s route to revenue depends on more than completing construction. Grid access, commissioning, permitting, and equipment readiness can each affect the schedule. We examine construction and operational coverage together, mapping policy triggers and exclusions against those dependencies, replacement times, and lender requirements. That review helps distinguish delays insurance may address from risks that need to be managed through contracts, contingency plans, or project reserves.

Illustrative scenario

Bringing grid-scale battery storage into service

A developer is preparing a grid-scale battery storage project for energization and commercial operation. Battery enclosures, inverters, and the substation are installed, but performance testing and utility approval remain. Lender conditions, contractor handover, and contracted availability obligations must align as operational responsibility shifts to the owner.

Insurance priorities

  1. Commissioning and handover

    Review when construction coverage ends and operational coverage begins, including energization, testing, acceptance criteria, and responsibility for defects identified during commissioning.

  2. Equipment and recovery

    Assess property and equipment breakdown terms against battery replacement strategy, fire protection, transformer lead times, and the cost of restoring the site.

  3. Revenue and obligations

    Separate insured damage scenarios from grid or permitting delays, then review business interruption assumptions alongside financing terms, availability commitments, and reserves.

The objective

Create a clear insurance transition into operation, with responsibilities and retained delay exposures understood before the project begins delivering its contracted services.
