The renewable energy sector carries both great promise and a wide range of risk management needs that demand unique insights and extensive experience. Jones Brown experts have an in-depth understanding of this specific industry and we are closely involved at all levels. Our clients include manufacturers, facilities and service providers.

Solar is seeing record levels of investment with risks centred in physical and business interruption loss from mechanical breakdown or property perils (thermic and electric based), weather damage and theft. Wind has entered the mainstream, bringing new risks involving equipment, the environment and supply chain delays. Geothermal and small hydro plants are being located in more remote areas.
