Understanding Wind Energy Insurance in Australia

Wind Energy Insurance is designed for businesses that are involved in the development, construction, ownership and operation of wind energy assets across Australia. This includes onshore wind farms, infrastructure associated with them and professional services that support electricity generation. 

Standard Business Insurance policies are typically not suited to wind energy operations. Due to the exposure to extreme weather, mechanical and electrical failure, environmental liability and extended downtime, a more specialised insurance structure is required. 

A tailored wind energy insurance programme provides protection across the full project lifecycle starting from the early works to the ongoing operation and asset management.

Insurance Needed for Wind Energy Projects

Wind energy projects involve multiple stages, stakeholders and technical systems, each introducing specific exposures. 

Whether you are developing a new wind farm, expanding capacity or managing an operational asset, comprehensive insurance is essential to protect your investment. 

Wind energy insurance solutions may include: 

Damage to PropertyProtection from storms, fire, lightning, bushfires and other insured disasters that could physically harm wind turbines, substations and related equipment.

Electrical and Mechanical FailureProtection against the unexpected and sudden breakdown of vital parts, such as control systems, transformers, generators and gearboxes.

  • Business interruption to help maintain cash flow following an insured loss.

Loss of revenue Financial security to make up for lost wages if an insured incident interrupts electricity generation.

Public and product liability Coverage for injuries or property damage to third parties brought on by wind energy operations or equipment failure.

Liability for the EnvironmentProtection against pollution incidents, harm to the environment and legal actions related to wind energy operations.

Professional LiabilityCoverage for lawsuits resulting from project management, engineering, design or consultancy services.

Cyber Risks Coverage for cyberattacks that impact SCADA systems, surveillance systems, operational technology and data security.

Choosing the Right Wind Energy Insurance Policy in Australia

Comparing policy limitations is only one aspect of choosing the right coverage. Every wind energy project has a different risk profile that is influenced by factors including scale, location, technology and legal constraints.

Important things to think about are:

Project Location: Various Australian states' regional, coastal or isolated locations

Asset Scale and Configuration: Age, capacity, number of turbines and additional facilities

Operational Model: Third-party management, EPC contracts or owner-operator

Regulatory Compliance: Compliance with national and state energy, safety and environmental regulations

In order to suggest insurance options that complement your business and operational goals, our advisors carefully consider these variables.

The team at Crucial Insurance were professional, thorough and helpful. Tony took the time to compare my existing policies with other competitive insurances on the market. He recommended options that provided me with the coverage I required and were more cost effective. Thanks for the great service.

Alishia was a pleasure to work with, great on the phone and extremely knowledgable on policies. In fact, this is the reason brokers exist --I could not find a single insurance company, despite hours and hours of searching, with a policy that did what I wanted. Alishia had one in mind within a minute of speaking with me, and not long after, I was covered. Outstanding.

Thankyou to Tony and the Crucial Team! Tony designed insurance specific to our business needs and made it easy to understand. We have peace of mind knowing that they are there to support us.
