Alternative Energy System Performance Insurance*

AIG Risk Finance is developing System Performance Insurance to address the technology-based performance exposure of new alternative energy projects. This insurance is designed to help owner –operators respond to banks and investors who seek to protect their investment against the risk that a deficiency in the design of the technology will result in the underperformance of the facility, as measured by post-construction acceptance tests.  If such performance deficiencies occur, System Performance Insurance protects the insured from financial loss.
 
The insured can use the insurance proceeds to service the outstanding debt shortfall that resulted from such failure, and/or make system modifications intended to improve performance up to specified acceptance test levels.

Potential Concerns Back To Top
  • What happens if the technology does not perform as expected and fails to produce the projected quantity and quality of output?
  • What is the economic impact to a project if the energy and/or power utilization significantly exceeds the level originally specified for profitable operations?
  • Is it optimal to manage technology performance risk solely through contractual liquidated damages with an EPC contractor?
