ACE Launches Renewable Energy Environmental Protection

ACE Group today launched ACE Renewable Energy Environmental Protection, a dedicated environmental policy for companies in the renewable energy industry in the UK and Ireland.

ACE Group said its Renewable Energy Environmental Protection covers the environmental risks faced by renewable energy companies, providing seamless coverage, from the start of construction of renewable energy plants through to their operation. It is available to energy producers in solar, onshore and offshore wind, tidal, hydro, waste-to-energy, biofuel and landfill gas extraction.

The cover is supported by a team of environmental scientists and engineers, backed up with crisis management support for all risks, ACE added.

Emma Bartolo, Environmental Risk Manager, in the UK and Ireland for ACE, said: “While renewable energy and environmental risks have been in the news for many years now, still many brokers and their clients in the sector are still unaware of the environmental risk exposures that they face and with increasing regulation and third party costs, they could potentially face expensive and damaging claims.

“What they will get with ACE Renewable Energy Environmental Protection is the peace of mind that they have comprehensive, market-leading cover and benefit from the experience of our specialist underwriting and claims teams.”
