Our role is to ensure that you have the best cover for any eventuality

With any project from the earliest design concepts, through to the construction process and throughout its life cycle, there are associated risks and potential liabilities that have to be addressed. You can transfer some of these risks and liabilities into various insurance products or contracts, whilst others you retain and manage with proper risk management techniques or otherwise outright avoid. Lockton’s Global Engineering practice have personally supported a wide range of power generation projects globally with an estimated 165,678 MW (both operational and construction).

As renewable energy plays an increasingly vital role in the global energy mix, forms of long-duration energy storage (LDES) are vital to meet overall energy demand, manage price volatility, and ensure reliable supply during periods of low generation.
