FAQs – Insurance for Renewable Energy Companies
1. What’s the most important cover during project build?
CAR Insurance and Public Liability are essential during construction. If the project generates revenue, DSU (Delay in Start-Up) should also be considered.
2. Do I need PI cover if I subcontract design?
Possibly. If your contract makes you responsible for design coordination or review, PI cover is still needed. We can review your contracts to confirm exposure.
3. What happens once the project is live?
The policy transitions to operational insurance — covering the physical plant, revenue interruption, and ongoing liabilities. We help structure this at commissioning.
4. Is cyber cover necessary for energy assets?
Yes, especially for connected systems (e.g. wind turbine control or remote telemetry). Cyber cover protects against malware, data breaches, and forced shutdowns.
5. Can we insure transit or marine delivery of components?
Yes. We offer cargo and transit insurance for panels, towers, switchgear, and containers — from port to site.
6. What if the site is in a remote or coastal location?
We factor location-specific risks into your cover — including weather impact, access delays, or marine exposures.
7. Can all project covers be combined?
Yes. We build integrated project cover from construction to operation — including CAR, PL, EL, PI, and operational risks — to meet investor and grid operator requirements.
8. Is ERM Financial Services regulated?
Yes. ERM Financial Services is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland.
