Insurance products

We offer insurance solutions which comprise traditional products and innovative, customised concepts.

Renewable energy projects in emerging and developing economies have the advantage of profiting from two income streams: clean energy production and carbon credits. Carbon markets represent a new dimension of risk, and there is a need for innovative insurance solutions to be provided.

We create innovative solutions to meet the ever-changing demands of the latest renewable energy technology. We also offer bespoke covers for specific markets, establish contact with our clients and analyse their needs. Once we have thoroughly assessed the risks, we design a unique insurance solution.

Innovative solutions

  • The sale of carbon credits enables clean development mechanism (CDM) project owners to (pre-)finance renewable energy projects.

  • Financial viability depends on long-term delivery and payment obligations.

  • Default in payment obligations by the foreign buyer of carbon credits could jeopardise the project's viability.

  • Multi-year carbon counterparty credit insurance could protect carbon credit sellers against risks such as:
    • Insolvency
    • Non-payment
    • Country risks
  • Renewable energy projects can be protected by policy covers such as erection all risks (EAR), delay in start-up (DSU), business interruption (BI).

  • A combined product such as carbon all risks insurance will protect the project owner and the lenders and investors against physical damage during the life cycle of projects.

Carbon credit sellers

  • The sale of carbon credits enables clean development mechanism (CDM) project owners to (pre-)finance renewable energy projects.

  • KMR protects against interruptions to operations which would badly affect the project's financial viability or cessation.

  • KMR is a multi-year and multi-risk policy.

  • Owners/financiers of clean development mechanism (CDM) projects can be protected against:
    • Clean development mechanism (CDM) registration costs
    • Erection all risks (EAR) and delay in start-up (DSU)
    • Property all risks, machinery breakdown and business interruption (BI)
    • Specified insolvency and technical performance risks
    • Weather risks
    • Loss of carbon credits caused by these risks
    • Other risks associated with their projects

  • Specially structured solutions are possible depending on circumstances.

Carbon credit buyers

  • For carbon emitters in the EU, delivery of carbon credits is vital to meet carbon emission limits.

  • KMR is a multi-year and multi-risk policy.

  • Buyers can protect themselves against carbon credit non-delivery caused by:
    • The same risks as for carbon credit sellers
    • Political risks
  • Lack-of-sun insurance provides cover for lost revenues if the radiation of the sun and thus energy production falls below a certain minimum value.

  • Wind insurance provides cover for lost revenues if a lull or storm prevents turbines from generating energy.

Traditional concepts

  • Marine transit covers loss of and/or damage to goods while in transit.

  • Marine delay in start-up covers consequential losses to revenue caused through delays in completion following transit losses.
  • Full contract works cover including civil works and property damage during construction.

  • Advance loss of profit cover for consequential losses to revenue due to delays in completion following property losses.

  • Pre-commissioning inspections

  • Commercial general liability
  • Our solution covers property all risks and machinery breakdown.

  • Business interruption cover is provided for periods of operational downtime triggered by the occurence of a physical damage.

  • Commercial general liability
