FAQs

Generally, energy and power companies will need insurance coverage for their: onshore/offshore property, assets, and infrastructure; protection against business interruption and income loss; new construction investments; and third party liability and workers’ compensation losses. As most energy assets are in an open environment and exposed to natural elements, coverage for severe weather events or natural catastrophes is crucial. And, given the scale of digitization across the whole energy value chain, companies also need to consider protection for increasing cyber-related risks. Furthermore, depending on where operations are located, there may be a need to cover political and credit uncertainty.

Every company, operating facility, and investment is unique – the best way to understand, quantify, and manage risk is to partner with an experienced risk advisor. 

Insurance and risk management in the energy and power industry is a complex topic and requires specialist knowledge. Oil and gas companies, power generators, distributors, retailers, and renewable energy investors and operators all have unique risk exposures and different insurance needs. It's important to partner with risk management advisors who understand your business model and can provide insights and access to the most relevant industry trends and best practices in insurance and risk management.

Marsh’s global team of energy and power advisors, risk engineers, and brokers can facilitate discussions with insurance markets worldwide and design solutions that support your organization’s short and long-term goals.

  • Securing appropriate insurance coverage during construction and operational phases.
  • Protecting renewable energy assets and infrastructure from severe weather events and natural catastrophes.
  • Understanding emerging technologies and how to integrate them into existing networks.
