The risks and challenges of renewable energy in a fast changing environment 08|02|2012

In recent years, the insurance industry has seen an increasing number of requests for all kinds of risk transfer coming from various players in the Renewable Energy industry: manufacturers, contractors, operators and lenders. In many instances the lawmakers, regulators, financiers, engineers, and developers have made or will make decisions without verifying the risk transfer mechanisms available. While Renewable Energy is now becoming a reality in today’s world, and is certainly key to the future development of our economies, the (re)insurance sector still views this industry as an emerging one. At the present time, the primary objective of the (re)insurance sector with regard to Renewable Energy is to build and work with balanced portfolios.
