First new product tailored for small to medium businesses ahead of wider international roll out
LONDON, May 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Chubb today announced that the company's Chubb Climate+ global business unit has launched an innovative packaged insurance solution in the UK that will support the growth of alternative and renewable energy projects, principally onshore wind and ground-mounted photovoltaic solar. The product, Climate+ Renewables, is designed for small to medium renewables projects and will be rolled out in other countries.
Climate+ Renewables, the first new climate tech insurance solution from Chubb Climate+, provides continuity of insurance across the construction and operational phases of alternative and renewable energy projects. Small to medium renewables projects, up to £50 million in contract value, will benefit from tailored, seamless protection. Climate+ Renewables is available in the UK through Chubb's etrade facility, Ignite, offering a rapid quote and bind process, with instant documentation.

"Chubb Climate+ was created to harness our underwriting and risk engineering capabilities on behalf of companies developing or employing new technologies and processes that support the transition to a low-carbon economy. We look forward to bringing this new solution to companies in additional markets across Europe and beyond."
Jared Concannon, Head of Climate Tech for Chubb Overseas General, said: "In the UK, a record amount of energy was generated from renewable sources in 2022 with 41% of all energy coming from wind, solar, biomass and hydro. Our new Climate+ Renewables product means Chubb is perfectly placed to support clients in the growing UK renewables market, offering a specifically designed insurance programme that keeps pace with the development of their projects."
The innovative insurance product offers a broad scope of insurance coverages across both the construction and operational phases of projects, including: erection all risk, delay in startup, marine cargo, marine delay in start up, material damage, public and products liability, employer's liability and environmental protection.
