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 Wyoming 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. Wyoming is a monopolistic workers' compensation state. Coverage comes through the state fund for covered industries, not private carriers. ARIA reads your operation against both the industry profile and Wyoming specifics before any quote is requested.
Through the state fund for covered industries. Private comp policies are not the mechanism here. Employers should confirm which employments the fund covers, add stop-gap employers liability to the GL, and make deliberate decisions for any workforce outside the fund's scope.
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 Wyoming: monopolistic comp coverage gaps. Wyoming's state fund covers designated extra-hazardous industries, and its coverage excludes employers liability. Stop-gap coverage on the GL, and deliberate decisions for employments outside the fund's scope, are the structural requirements.
