Planning Insurance for Renewable Energy & Power
Frame an insurance conversation around renewable energy assets, operations and project stages, with links to Shepherd’s casualty and builder’s risk offerings.
Begin with the asset and the work
Renewable energy and power accounts differ by technology, project stage and the insured’s role. Start by describing the asset, who builds or operates it, and whether the discussion concerns construction, ongoing operations or both.
Shepherd’s Renewable Energy & Power announcement describes its initial focus and casualty offering. The industry page is the starting point for the broader insurance conversation.
Separate the coverage questions
Discuss third-party liability, vehicles, employee exposures and any property under construction as distinct questions. Coordinate those requirements with the broker and underwriting team so the placement reflects the actual operations.
Shepherd’s Primary Casualty offering includes General Liability, Commercial Auto and Workers’ Compensation. Excess Casualty addresses additional liability layers. For projects under construction, discuss whether Builder’s Risk is relevant and available for the specific project.
Bring project context to the discussion
Explain the technology, locations, participating entities, construction or operating stage, schedule and requested insurance structure. Identify contractual requirements and any relationship between the contractor’s program and the owner’s insurance.
These questions help frame underwriting review; they are not a statement that every asset, location or exposure is eligible. Confirm availability and terms for the particular account.
