The Renewable Energy field has grown exponentially over the last ten years. The broad acceptance of renewable sources of energy, along with healthy tax incentives for the installation of these systems, has led to thousands of new firms now focused on this space.

The companies that install, service, and/or operate in this space have unique insurance exposures. Biodigesters converting methane to compressed natural gas require an expertise that calls for specialized contractors and operators. Commercial installations of solar, geothermal, electric, biomass, and hydrogen based technologies are growing quickly in the US. This deployment brings the following types of risks into play:

• Developers – packaging power solutions via land leases, construction, and operational outsourcing. Developers reaching out to the business sector and selling them on the tax advantages, power savings, and civic good will that large scale renewable installations bring.
• Commercial entities hiring contractors to build facilities for them
• Contractors – those focused on the actual design, installation, and service of systems.

Finding the right insurance to address their various needs also requires expertise.

In recent years, those have included the risks mentioned above.
