Energy Insurance — FAQs

Physical damage, business interruption, control of well, pollution, and third-party liabilities for oil, gas, nuclear, and renewable energy assets.

Effectively yes—ADNOC, land operators, and international EPCs require COW cover before spud. Limits typically range from USD 100M to 500M.

As a % of rebuild cost. Jack-up rigs 0.15–0.45%; production platforms 0.12–0.30%; FPSOs 0.20–0.40%.

Standard policies usually exclude cyber (CL380). Specialist OT / ICS cyber extensions are available to cover operational technology breaches.

CAR (Construction All Risks) is for the EPC / construction phase. OAR (Operators All Risks) is for the final operational phase.

Yes—standard wordings cover sandstorms, extreme heat, and rare hail events. Typical PV farm rate is 0.10–0.25%.

No—nuclear is covered via international nuclear pools (Nuclear Risk Insurers). UAE’s Barakah participates in global pools.

Loss of Production Income covers net revenue lost after physical damage halts production. A 12–24 month indemnity period is typical.

Yes—pipelines are often written separately at 0.04–0.12% of value, including BI for throughput interruption.

Tower, blades, gearboxes, generators, transformers, and SCADA. Perils include lightning, sandstorms, and gearbox failure.

Yes—it's an emerging class. Specialist wordings cover electrolyser breakdown, hydrogen embrittlement, and storage leaks.

A US term for COW / OPPC covering costs of regaining control of a wild well, redrilling, and evacuation.

Yes—this is typically included under OPPC / OEE and Emergency Response extensions.

Typically a hybrid: H&M for the hull/marine aspects and energy PD for the process topsides and risers.

It partially covers physical damage during operations. Long-term abandonment liabilities are financial provisions, not insurance.

Cover extends to a named operator for a specific field/asset. All JV parties must be named for full coverage.

Specialist wording covers thermal runaway, fire, and cycling fatigue. Required for utility-scale ESS at DEWA/EWEC sites.

Yes—major NatCat losses globally drove rates up 2023-2025. We see partial softening in 2026 for solar and onshore assets.

Offshore PD: USD 250K–5M. Onshore IAR: USD 100K–2M. BI: 45-day waiting period is typical.

4 to 12 weeks depending on complexity. Major programmes are coordinated through international reinsurance markets.
