Common questions
What does hydro power insurance relate to?
It relates to commercial hydroelectric generation projects, not hydrotherapy, hydroponics or hydrographic survey work.
Can older hydro assets be considered?
Age, condition, maintenance, inspection history and replacement-part availability will be important underwriting information.
Is business interruption automatically included?
No. The required indemnity period, revenue model and available terms must be reviewed for each project.
This page provides general information only. Cover, exclusions, limits, acceptance and price depend on the risk details and insurer terms.
