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 Kansas rules: Midwest 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 for most employers. A payroll-based exemption exists for the smallest operations, so confirm where you sit rather than assume. ARIA reads your operation against both the industry profile and Kansas specifics before any quote is requested.
For most employers, yes. A narrow payroll-threshold exemption covers only the smallest operations, and construction generally cannot use it. If you have regular employees, plan on coverage.
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 Kansas: tornado and giant-hail core. Kansas takes both perils at full strength. Property programs need deductibles the balance sheet can absorb, roof terms that survive scrutiny, and business-income periods set for real rebuild timelines in a post-event contractor market.
