Power and Infrastructure

The Power and Infrastructure sector is one of the most dynamic industries of the 21st century and very few industries are experiencing a transformation or transition quite like it.

Climate change, system security, reliability, storage, evolving electricity market demand, technologies, unprecedented investment, government policy and regulations and erosion of traditional base load markets all present a complex set of risks to all market participants. 

Whether that be power generation, transmission and distribution network owners, developers, retailers or infrastructure service providers, we help businesses manage their risk finance strategy and deliver innovative solutions that support your aspirations.

Energy

From upstream to downstream, participants in this heavily regulated market are operating in a uniquely challenging environment. 

Global pandemics, volatile commodity and financial markets, supply chain challenges, decreased oil consumption etc have placed greater uncertainty on our industry and the risks that need to be considered are unique. Operators, contractors and service companies alike need innovative, cost effective methods of managing their risks.

New problems require new solutions and Lockton is here to help the energy sector companies optimise risk financing and to deliver innovative solutions to support your aspirations.

Political Violence Market Update 2026

A softening market for Political Violence (PV) Insurance is a welcome sign for buyers, following a prolonged hard period. An influx of approximately £350m of new capacity via Lloyd’s syndicates and specialist underwriting agencies is driving competition, enabling brokers to market accounts more widely and deliver premium savings to clients. But it's not all straightforward. While the years prior to 2022 saw a high volume of claims relating to civil unrest, the market has since been dominated by larger-scale incidents of political violence – forcing insurers to adapt their strategies. For buyers, this introduces complexity: S&T policies are now unlikely to offer indemnity against some of the most common threats of the last three-to-five years. This being the case, more buyers may gravitate towards the broader scope of Political Violence cover.A softening market for Political Violence (PV) Insurance is a welcome sign for buyers, following a prolonged hard period.
