As a clean generation source, offshore wind has been around since the early 1990s. Since then technological advancements and supersizing innovation have turned offshore wind from a small, nice-to-have sector to a full-scale, must-have industry. 

The insurance sector has grown and evolved similarly, particularly when considering the energy transition. With the number of risks growing by the day in the renewables space, the insurance sector must keep up. Because without effective coverage, projects would grind to a halt and become untenable. 

In this episode of Energy Enablers, David is joined by Tom Kristiansen, lead risk engineer for renewable energy at Riskpoint, an insurance solutions provider specialising in renewable energy coverage. 

Tom discusses how the insurance sector has had to quickly adapt to offshore wind's emerging role as a powerhouse of clean energy generation and how to balance the need for new but untested technologies with the predictable, reliable workhorses of the sector.
