Solar Project/System Performance
We protect investors by covering long-term project cash flows through a Performance Ratio Guarantee or a MWh Guarantee (this includes irradiance risk, or solar, as a resource).
We have expertise in coverage for project contractors, operations & maintenance, lenders; single large utility projects, global portfolios of asset managers or commercial & industrial and residential portfolios.
Fuel Cell System Performance
We provide the backstop for the manufacturer’s original electrical and/or thermal performance warranties.
We are flexible to insure manufacturers’ total sales (corporate balance sheet protection) or dedicated customer sales or site locations.
Energy Storage Performance
We provide the backstop for the manufacturer’s original performance warranties. Subject to the accuracy of the battery management system (BMS), we insure utility, commercial and residential site applications, as well as the growing e-mobility market.
Bioconversion System Performance
Renewable energy technologies such as bioconversion plants provide a viable means of converting renewable feedstocks (e.g., woody biomass, energy crops, municipal waste) into electricity, liquid fuels, and other valuable commodities.
The marketplace is rapidly growing more excited about such technologies as awareness about climate change increases.
However, new technologies are expensive and risky. Potential investors demand assurance that the risk of losing their money have been minimized.
Our coverage is applicable to conversion of biomass or waste to:
- Energy (electric power and/or heat)
- Synthetic fuels
- Other sustainable chemical products
We provide the following flexible coverage structures:
- Pre-COD – start-up commissioning risk cover in form of repair cost and/or debt repayment
- Post-COD – protect long-term investment with guarantee of project output and quality of end-product; operational and excessive maintenance risks
