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 Louisiana rules: Southeast 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 energy & renewables, in the order they typically attach, with the Louisiana factor that changes how each one must be structured here.
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. In Louisiana, operational property + equipment breakdown deserves particular attention: Storm-hardened structure with realistic deductibles and flood layering is the price of staying open. ARIA reads your operation against both the industry profile and Louisiana specifics before any quote is requested.
Yes, generally from the first employee. Businesses touching vessels, docks, or offshore platforms should map crews against USL&H and Jones Act triggers as well, because state comp alone does not cover that work.
The two compound here. The exposure that most often drives loss for energy & renewables is project delay-in-startup (dsu), and Louisiana layers hurricane frequency and market hardness on top of it. A program built for the industry but priced without the Louisiana layer tends to look fine until the first claim touches both at once, which is exactly the read ARIA runs before any market is approached.
