The high-profile fire at the Moss Landing battery energy storage facility has generated significant attention within the renewable energy industry. Industry professionals specialising in insurance and risk management for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) have observed reactions ranging from unwarranted alarm to measured concerns.

kWh Analytics recently convened its Renewable Energy Broker Council to discuss the impact on the broader BESS insurance market. The council has developed a nuanced perspective on what this incident means for the future of BESS insurance.

Putting Moss Landing in context

It’s important to view the Moss Landing incident through the appropriate lens. The industry has been moving away from indoor BESS retrofits, favouring containerised outdoor storage solutions.

While unexpected, the event was not a major shock to the industry, according to the Broker Council.  This is mostly due to the fact that the facility utilised older nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery chemistry in a retrofitted indoor setting, and was built with protection schemes prescribed under earlier versions of industry standards, a configuration that would be unlikely in today’s designs.

That said, this event highlights how rapidly the industry is evolving in terms of product design and technology deployment.

From an insurance perspective, this represents what can be characterised as an impactful but not defining loss for the industry. The event goes a long to vindicating the industry’s decision move to outdoor, containerised batteries over the past five years.

Current market conditions remain stable

Despite the publicity surrounding the incident, current rate levels remain stable at approximately 30-40 cents per US$100 of insured value for technology risk, with well-designed projects potentially securing more favourable terms.

Indoor BESS installations, particularly those using NMC chemistry, will face significantly higher scrutiny. Most underwriters are hesitant to insure indoor installations, creating particular challenges for densely populated urban areas such as New York, where space constraints often push developers toward indoor solutions. Nevertheless, with the right willingness to pay, coverage can still be secured for these projects, potentially by tapping international markets.

The evolution of thermal runaway protection

Thermal runaway remains the primary risk concern for lithium-ion BESS installations. Interestingly, the industry’s approach to managing this risk has come full circle. After experimenting with various detection, protection, and suppression methods, industry consensus is returning to a “let it burn” philosophy. This approach recognises the fundamental nature of thermal runaway: once initiated, these events are managed rather than stopped. The key aspect for mitigating thermal runaway is to prevent the chain reaction from occurring in the first place.

The future: AI and predictive analytics

Artificial intelligence (AI) and predictive analytics represent the ‘golden egg’ for BESS safety. The most promising developments are occurring in software-based monitoring technologies designed to identify pre-failure conditions in individual battery cells and prevent thermal runaway before it begins. These battery monitoring systems exist today and should take advantage of the AI opportunities to further enhance their predictive capabilities.

These systems not only enhance safety but can also provide significant potential insurance advantages by demonstrating lower failure probabilities to prospective insurance carriers. As these technologies mature, indoor installations and vertical stacking alike may become less risky and insurable.

Regulatory environment continues to evolve

The regulatory framework surrounding BESS continues to develop alongside the technology. The NFPA 855 standard has evolved greatly since its inception in 2020 and will continue to do so. Building and fire codes will continue to evolve to specifically address the manufacturing of BESS cells, racks, and systems. Asset protection and life safety guidelines from insurers will evolve to reflect actual incurred losses versus perceived risk exposures.

While regulatory advancement is necessary, some proposed requirements are concerning. Many urban areas continue to promote detection, protection and suppression approaches that are already considered ineffective. A suggested 3,200-foot separation requirement currently being considered in California would effectively halt BESS project development if implemented.

Addressing public perception

As BESS installations grow in number and size, public awareness and opposition are increasing. Community concerns around air quality, contaminants, and fire risks represent issues that must be addressed through education and transparency. Similar patterns have been observed with other energy technologies—from natural gas turbines to solar power and wind turbine installations.

The renewable energy industry needs to emphasise that battery energy storage represents an unprecedented technological advancement. For the first time, electricity can be effectively stored at scale, providing flexibility and resilience to grid-scale electrical power systems. Some growing pains are inevitable in this transformation.

A critical aspect of public safety involves close coordination with local fire departments. Documentation of communication with local fire authorities, including training on BESS-specific firefighting procedures, carries significant weight with underwriters and can positively impact potential insurance coverage terms.

Looking ahead

Despite headlines generated by incidents like Moss Landing, the outlook for the BESS insurance market remains stable. New monitoring technologies, improved design standards, and evolving risk assessment methods are creating a more resilient power generation industry.

The number of thermal runaway events has decreased dramatically relative to the growth of installed capacity. The industry is heading toward a future where such events represent “a very small, infinitesimal risk,” making lithium-ion BESS an increasingly insurable technology.

Assets that follow industry best practices should receive favourable pricing that reflects their reduced risk profile. Projects that adhere to current codes, implement appropriate spacing between units, utilise advanced monitoring systems, and secure local fire department buy-in demonstrate measurable risk reduction deserving of premium consideration. The insurance industry will remain a key partner in increasing global BESS installations, helping identify, quantify, and mitigate risks as the technology evolves.

The Growing Complexity of Renewable Energy Insurance

Posted on by Nikky V

By Bobby McFadden, kWh Analytics, and Keaton Carlson, Renewable Guard

As the renewable energy sector matures, moving a solar project from concept to operation has become increasingly complex. The days when securing basic property and casualty coverage was enough to break ground are gone. Today’s projects encounter a web of interconnected insurance requirements from various stakeholders, each with their own specific demands and risk concerns. Without early planning, projects risk facing expensive coverage requirements, delays in breaking ground, or even project cancellation due to the inability to secure necessary insurance products in an economically viable manner.

Why Has Insurance Become So Complex?

The renewable energy insurance landscape has transformed dramatically in recent years, driven by several interconnected factors. As installations grow in size and complexity, they face new risks and require more sophisticated coverage solutions. Projects involve multiple parties – from utilities to tax equity investors to lenders – each bringing their own insurance requirements to the table. As the industry matures, these counterparties learn from past experience and look to mitigate historic losses or project risks. Additionally, the rapid evolution of solar and storage technology introduces new risks that traditional insurance products weren’t designed to address. Meanwhile, the increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events has fundamentally changed how insurers evaluate and price risk. Adding to this complexity, local governments and municipalities have varying requirements for project development and operation, necessitating specialized insurance solutions for each location.

Modern renewable energy projects must navigate requirements from numerous parties:

  • Lenders and tax equity investors demand specific coverages to protect their investments and often utilize the expertise of Insurance Consultants to dictate required limits and terms.
  • Local jurisdictions often have their own insurance mandates that must be met prior to breaking ground. These requirements may focus on public safety concerns and local liability considerations that differ from commercial requirements.
  • Utility companies maintain specific insurance requirements that can vary by region.

Emerging Insurance Solutions
The industry has responded to these challenges with specialized insurance products designed to address specific risks:
Project Completion Insurance: Traditional performance bonds (aka contract bonds, or surety bonds) can be prohibitively expensive or impossible to secure for some projects. Project completion insurance offers an alternative, providing coverage if a project faces financial difficulties due to contractor or project default or insolvency.

Tax Credit Insurance: Tax credit insurance protects against recapture risk and other tax-credit-related exposures, providing certainty for tax equity investors and project sponsors alike. This coverage has become particularly crucial as more projects take advantage of transferable tax credits.

Parametric Insurance: These policies pay based on pre-defined thresholds and characteristics of an event, and can be utilized in renewables to protect against underproduction risk. For example, the Wind Proxy Hedge creates a floor on energy generation revenues in the face of volatile wind speeds, taking downside risk out of financing for wind projects. Some providers may pair these products with innovative debt structures to provide asset owners with valuable credit enhancement as well.

Cyber Insurance: As solar and storage projects become more digitally connected, cyber risk has emerged as a significant concern. Cyber insurance protects against losses from data breaches, system failures, and cyber attacks. As projects rely more heavily on digital monitoring and control systems, cyber coverage has become increasingly critical.

Early Insurance Planning
When project sponsors sign agreements without proper insurance guidance, they often commit to requirements that are either unnecessarily expensive or impossible to meet in the current market. A common pitfall occurs when projects commit to utility interconnection requirements designed for traditional power plants, leading to excessive coverage costs. Similarly, lenders frequently require coverage levels based on loan values rather than actual project risk, resulting in unnecessarily high premiums. Without early planning, projects can end up with multiple overlapping requirements that create coverage gaps or redundancies, driving up costs without improving protection.

Building Resilience Through Partnership
The key to navigating this increasingly complex landscape lies in early collaboration between project sponsors, brokers, and insurers. Early involvement of insurance professionals allows for proactive negotiation of reasonable requirements with lenders and utilities, often identifying cost-effective alternatives to traditional coverage requirements. This collaboration ensures insurance programs align with actual project risks, while enabling efficient structuring of coverage across multiple policies and carriers.

As the renewable energy sector expands, climate change impacts, evolving technology, and increasing project sizes are creating a dynamic risk landscape that demands innovative insurance solutions. Success in this environment requires treating insurance as a fundamental part of project development rather than an afterthought. Organizations that embrace this approach – bringing insurance expertise into the earliest stages of project planning – will be better positioned to develop resilient projects that can adapt to emerging risks while maintaining cost-effective coverage that truly protects their investments.

Powering Progress: Weathering the Elements: Insights from PVRW 2025

Posted on by Nikky V

The annual Photovoltaic Reliability Workshop (PVRW), hosted by National Renewable Energy Laboratory, brings together leading experts from national labs, academia, module manufacturers, and insurance carriers. This year’s gathering on solar reliability and resiliency has significant implications for the industry. Here are the key takeaways:

The First Insurance Panel

The inclusion of PVRW’s first-ever insurance panel underscores how critical insurance has become to the solar industry. Our colleague Nicole Thompson shared an analysis of how specific resilience measures affect damage ratios and insurance premiums. She noted that 70% of solar insurance losses by dollar value come from hail damage, paving the way for premium differentiation for hardened assets. She discussed the emergence of advanced risk models that incorporate stow angles, testing documentation, and historical stow logs to create more accurate pricing.

Industry experts from CAC Specialty, FM, and Moore-McNeil provided sobering context: insurance premiums have increased approximately 9x over the past decade (from ~4¢ to ~35¢ per $100 of value for “like” coverage, if available). They highlighted that without proper risk mitigation, projects may become uninsurable as natural catastrophe events increase in frequency and severity.

Glass Matters More Than Ever

The industry’s push toward bigger, floppier modules is creating new reliability challenges. Jennifer Braid from Sandia National Laboratories highlighted how “we engineered our way into this mess” with decreasing glass thickness and increasing module size, so “we can engineer our way out.”

Hongbin Fang from LONGi Solar emphasized that 3.2mm/2mm dual glass bifacial modules can withstand 4.5 times the impact energy compared to 2mm heat-strengthened glass modules. Designs with thicker glass specifically engineered for hail-prone regions also show improved wind load ratings.

Realities from the Field

Penny Ladner from DNV provided a reality check on the disconnect between design specifications and field execution. She emphasized that things run very differently in the field than what you would imagine when sitting in the ‘ivory tower’.

The industry is suffering from a lack of skilled labor, causing serious quality control issues during solar installation. Penny noted the need for apprentice programs to train the required workforce and automation to simplify on-field processes.

This perspective underscores how even the most resilient designs can fail when improperly implemented – a crucial consideration for insurance evaluation and risk management.

Tracker Dynamics Need Closer Attention

Dan Chawla from Natural Power reported that trackers are often modeled as perfect in energy estimates, but reality shows they frequently operate sub-optimally. His data revealed that losing up to 5% of energy is common just from tracker operation issues.

Nathaniel H. and Scott Brian Van Pelt, P.E. from GameChange Solar discussed a significant gap in current tracker testing standards. Their analysis revealed that systems that passed the dynamic mechanical load testing specified by IEC 62782 can still fail when subjected to wind patterns equivalent to real-world hurricane events via wind tunnel testing. Unlike building codes that focus on maximum wind gusts, tracker systems need evaluation for cumulative fatigue from thousands of pressure cycles throughout their operational life.

The MGA Perspective

Our team at PVRW shared several posters to advance the renewable insurance industry:

  • Hannah Rasmussen and Adam Shinn: Incentivizing Reliable PV through Insurance Premium Reduction
  • Reilly Fagan: From Hail to Hardware: A Comprehensive Risk Assessment for Solar Asset Resilience
  • Phoebe Hwang: Data-driven Insights into Solar Production Performance
  • Mike Mousou: Watts the Hype? AI’s Role in Powering Solar Reliability (Outstanding Poster Award)
  • Charity Sotero: PV Equipment Failures: Patterns and Predictions from O&M log data

For more details, visit https://hello.kwhanalytics.com/pvrw-2025/ to watch each researcher discuss their work.

The Key Takeaway

Delivering resilient PV systems requires diligent design, stringent material and installation quality standards, and an uncompromising focus on long-term durability in harsh environments.

There are no shortcuts. Engaging with the technical community to stay up to date on emerging risks and mitigation approaches is essential for the industry to prepare for the challenges ahead.

Finally, a recognition is in order for Michael Mousou who won a poster award at this year’s event. Congratulations Mike!

Examining the Real Cost of Renewable Resiliency

Posted on by Nikky V

In the face of escalating climate challenges, renewable energy asset owners come to a critical crossroads: invest in resilient, hardened assets or opt for standard equipment to minimize upfront costs.

In the context of solar energy, resilience refers to an asset’s ability to withstand, adapt to, and quickly recover from disruptions caused by extreme weather events or other natural disasters. This includes features such as reinforced mounting systems, hail-resistant modules, and advanced monitoring and response systems. While the initial price tag of resilient assets may seem daunting, a closer examination reveals that these investments often pay off over a project lifecycle. Though insurance carriers ultimately benefit from these reduced losses through fewer and smaller claims, the true value of resilience flows to asset owners through lower premiums, better insurability, and most importantly, reliable power generation. Resiliency measures have become an increasingly smart business decision in the evolving landscape of renewable energy.

The Growing Threat to Renewable Assets

Climate change is driving an unprecedented increase in extreme weather events, posing severe challenges to renewable energy infrastructure. Among the issues:

Intensifying storms: Hurricanes and tropical storms are becoming more powerful, with higher wind speeds and increased rainfall, threatening both onshore and offshore renewable installations.

Expanding hail risk: Hailstorms are occurring more frequently and in regions previously considered lower-risk, with hailstones growing larger and more damaging.

Prolonged droughts and wildfires: Extended dry periods are leading to more frequent and intense wildfires, jeopardizing solar farms and transmission infrastructure in vulnerable areas.

Increased uncertainty: Changing rain patterns are causing floods in unexpected locations and shifting historical flood maps.

These escalating risks threaten not just individual projects but the entire sector’s growth. According to NOAA, 2023 saw a record-breaking 28 weather and climate disasters in the U.S., each causing more than $1 billion in damages. This trend is projected to continue.

Given these mounting challenges, the renewable energy industry must adapt to ensure its continued growth and sustainability. The solution lies in resilient design—but what does this entail, and at what cost?

The Upfront Cost of Resilience

Implementing resilient measures in renewable energy projects, particularly in solar installations, typically involves several key components:

  • Enhanced panel design: Utilizing thicker (3.2 or 4mm vs. 2mm), tempered glass to withstand hail and other extreme weather events.
  • Advanced tracking systems: Implementing trackers with higher stow angles and automated stow functionalities for better protection during severe weather. Today’s deployed trackers typically achieve maximum tilt angles of 52 to 60 degrees, with recent innovations allowing for even steeper angles to minimize hail loss. Recent research in the 2024 Solar Risk Assessment shows that angles up to 75 degrees reduce the probability of breakage by over 80%. Regular testing of hail stow systems is also advised.
  • Robust mounting structures: Choosing durable racking with thicker steel and ensuring modulesare securely fastened to withstand high winds and other environmental stressors. Operations & Maintenance items such as torque audits, connector inspections, and spare parts collection are completed regularly.

While specific costs can vary based on project size and location, our research indicates that implementing these resilient measures can increase initial project costs by approximately 10% to 15% compared to standard designs.

Case Study: The Numbers Behind Resiliency

To illustrate the financial impact of resilient design, let’s consider a real-world example based on our models for a 100-MW solar project in a high hail-risk region. First, it’s important to understand the concept of Average Annual Loss (AAL). AAL is a key metric in risk assessment that represents the mean annual loss over the long term, considering the probability and severity of various loss events. It’s calculated using natural catastrophe models that are built on historical weather and loss data.

This approach simulates tens of thousands of years of weather events impacting an asset, and the resulting losses are then averaged across years. Project-specific factors are also taken into account to estimate the likely financial impact of these risks over time.

Standard Design (2mm untempered glass, no hail stow):

  • Net Loss AAL: $1,062,720
    • Note: Deductible obligations are factored into net loss calculations. This case study’s severe convective storm deductible is 5% of the total property damage value at risk, subject to minimum and maximum requirements.
  • 30-year aggregate AAL outlook: $31,881,600

Resilient Design (3.2mm tempered glass panels, robust hail stow protocol with 52 degree tilt):

  • Net loss AAL: $307,790
  • 30-year aggregate AAL outlook: $9,233,700

The implementation of resilient design measures results:

  • $754,930 reduction in average annual loss (AAL)
  • $22,647,900 reduction in 30-year outlook AAL
  • 71% reduction in both annual and 30-year outlook AAL

Assuming the resilient design costs 15% more than the standard design, let’s break down the numbers:

  • Standard design cost: $100,000,000
  • Resilient design cost: $115,000,000
  • Additional upfront investment: $15,000,000
  • Savings over 30 years: $22,647,900
  • Net benefit of resilient design: $7,647,900 ($22,647,900 savings – $15,000,000 additional upfront cost) over a 30-year outlook.

As severe weather events become more frequent, non-resilient sites face a challenging future: increased deductibles, higher premiums, and ultimately bearing a larger portion of losses themselves. Insurers have become increasingly discerning about sites that do not properly consider their geographic perils, often declining to quote entirely on projects that lack adequate resilience measures for their location.

In some cases, sites may become completely uninsurable. Moreover, the renewable energy industry’s reputation and growth depend on reliable power generation—projects that are frequently offline due to weather damage not only lose revenue but also undermine confidence in clean energy as a dependable power source. Resilient design creates a virtuous cycle where reduced losses lead to lower premiums, better insurability, and a more stable renewable energy sector.

The Industry Imperative

The message for decision-makers is clear: while upfront costs for resilient design are higher, the long-term benefits far outweigh the initial investment.

This calculation doesn’t account for additional benefits such as lower insurance premiums, improved uptime, or extended asset life, which could further increase the net benefit of resilient design. A recent case study by kWh Analytics revealed that a resilient asset owner who was able to prove that they operationalized hail stow for 90% of past hail events received a 72% natural catastrophe insurance rate reduction. (Editor’s note: Operationalized hail stow is a solar panel tracking system that automatically adjusts the position of solar panels to reduce the risk of hail damage.)

As environmental risks escalate, prioritizing resilience isn’t just about protecting assets—it’s about securing a competitive advantage and ensuring the future of renewable energy. The real cost of resilience? It’s the price we’ll pay if we fail to adapt. As we race to meet clean energy goals and combat climate change, investing in hardened assets isn’t just a smart business decision—it’s crucial for safeguarding our transition to a sustainable power system.
