Energy and renewables span developer-stage, construction-stage, and operational-stage exposures, each with a distinct insurance profile. Wind, solar, battery storage, geothermal each have unique loss profiles. The line that surprises developers is performance / warranty coverage for asset output, which is often missing in early-stage policies.
Below is that profile under Alaska rules: West perils, state statutes, and the market structure built around them.
The exposures that hit this class hardest, drawn from analysis of mid-market accounts. The structural ones cost more than the premium-driven ones.

The lines ARIA recommends for a well-structured program in this industry, in the order they typically attach.
The core stack for energy & renewables typically starts with Builders Risk w/ DSU (Delay-in-Startup), Operational Property + Equipment Breakdown, Commercial General Liability, Performance / Warranty Bond, structured in that order. Workers' compensation is required from the first employee, with fishing-crew and marine work falling under federal regimes, Jones Act and USL&H, that are separate placements. ARIA reads your operation against both the industry profile and Alaska specifics before any quote is requested.
Yes, from the first employee, and the harder question is regime mapping: vessel crews fall under the Jones Act, dock work under USL&H, and shore operations under state comp. Each is a distinct placement, and the seams between them are where coverage fails.
For the industry itself: project delay-in-startup (dsu). Construction delays on a renewable asset cause cascading losses: PPA penalties, financing costs, delayed revenue. DSU coverage is often inadequate vs the actual financial-model loss. Layered on top in Alaska: marine and aviation operational severity. Commercial fishing remains among the most dangerous work anywhere, and aviation is basic transportation. Jones Act crews, USL&H dock work, and aviation liability are everyday placements here, not specialties.
