Onshore Energy Insurance
Insuring the future of onshore wind and solar
A sustainable future is about more than just producing and storing renewable energy. It’s about building trust. It's about helping businesses feel confident that increasing their reliance on renewables won’t increase their exposure to unforeseen risks. Our market-leading underwriters and renewable onshore energy Claims team have a thorough technical understanding of these risks – and how to mitigate them. That means enhanced risk management, safety management systems and quality assurance for our insureds. And, because reducing the complexity, expense and resolution time of renewable energy claims requires a clear-eyed assessment of the present and future, Travelers offers in-house engineering, risk control and modelling.
The depth of our experience and the breadth of our leadership across the energy sector enable us to help protect the development of renewable energies. So that more industries can place their trust in onshore solar and wind power – and the battery energy storage systems (BESS) that keep them powering the future.
