Deregulation, divestitures, acquisitions, mergers, and technology are all key dynamics which drive the power generation sector, fundamentally shaping the business environment in which our customers operate.
Benfield Corporate Risk's power team incorporates market leading experience in the core risks facing this sector - whether for operational plants or plants under construction - with years of experience in equally important corporate factors such as the risk management of mergers and acquisitions risk or the requirements of joint government and private sector projects.

As part of our ongoing commitment to servicing of customers' programmes, trends in technology and the insurance market's response to those trends are continuously monitored. This allows each customer to maintain an insurance programme which is current and makes the most of available terms and conditions.

In addition, our wider offering includes such areas as political risks cover and sophisticated modelling and financial analysis techniques which can be used to assess the potential impact on a customer of anything from natural perils or acts of terrorism to captive retentions and the overall credit quality of programmes.

Environmental Liability
Our power team employ’s environmental expertise that can address a customer’s exposure resulting from fuel and waste storage at operational plants, as well as assist in tailoring a program that protects parties involved in the transfer of assets and from the potential historic liability associated with the purchase. These capabilities have never been more essential to an industry that traditionally is one of the largest owners of real estate and is impacted by deregulation and the convergence with the cable and telecom businesses.

Our Business Areas Include:
  • Thermal plants - natural gas, coal and oil
  • Nuclear facilities
  • Co-generation plants
  • Peaker plants
  • Geothermal
  • Hydro-electric facilities
  • Wind farms - offshore and onshore
