Renewable Energy Market Review 2021

In these unprecedented times, the global renewable energy industry is going through a significant period of transition, primarily instigated by climate change and of course now exacerbated by the effects of COVID-19. But just how prepared is the renewables industry to meet the risks and challenges that it currently faces?

The review considers:

• Why changes in the overall global energy mix have brought their own shift in the renewables risk landscape.
• The key threats and challenges that the industry must meet in order to manage its emerging climate risk.
• The strategic role that risk managers can play in the renewables industry response.
• A roundup of conditions in today’s challenging insurance market for the renewables sector.
