Insuring Energy Transformation: Overcoming the “Squid Games” Challenge

Unlocking the capital investment needed to deploy clean energy technologies at scale and at pace requires identifying, allocating, and managing risk extremely adeptly. Experts from leading insurers, reinsurers, and managing general agents (MGAs) who specialize in managing risk come together on this panel to discuss innovative and collaborative approaches to derisking, accelerating, and reducing the overall cost of the energy transition.
Join this session to explore:
- How are insurers partnering with developers of newer technologies to design solutions that meet the unique needs of the technology?
- What could insurers do to address common financing challenges inherent in newer technologies (e.g., lack of long-term performance/operating data) with what help from others in the capital stack?
- How could insurance play a role in addressing the ‘Squid Games’ challenge we observe in financing newer technologies where no one wants to go first or second, but everyone is eager to go eighth or ninth?
