Renewable Energy Business Insurance

Recommended Coverage for Renewable Energy Businesses

The Hartford offers general liability for renewable energy businesses such as wind turbine manufacturers, hydroelectric dams and power plants.

Our General Liability Choice® insurance helps protect green energy businesses from bodily injury and property claims including:
 
  • Personal and advertising injury, such as: libel; slander; defamation; and product disparagement including offenses that occur from your website, bulletin boards and chat rooms
  • Broad named insured, including contractual liability, manufacturer’s errors and omissions, and product recall expense coverage
  • Time element pollution extension endorsements
  • Blanket additional insured coverage
  • Primary non-contributory coverage when required by contract
  • Per project/per location aggregate
  • Failure to supply coverages are available for power and utilities exposures
The Hartford understands that renewable energy businesses rely on company trucks and cars to keep their green energy operations running smoothly. Whether it’s a solar energy company sending an employee out in a company truck to perform maintenance on a solar installation or a wind turbine company transporting a 116-ft turbine blade, renewable energy businesses need to know that their employees and vehicles are covered in the event of a loss.
 
Renewable energy business insurance from The Hartford helps protect commercial vehicles with:
 
  • Hired auto physical damage – automatically covers physical damage to any auto a renewable energy company rents, loans or leases (up to $100,000 per loss) if the business purchases physical damage and liability coverage for its autos
  • Employees as additional insureds – covers a green energy company’s employees for liability if they use their own autos to conduct company business
  • Upset and overturn extension of coverage – covers expenses related to cleanup from an upset and overturn of spilled product
With workers' comp from The Hartford, you may be better able to manage cash flow and mitigate audit surprises by basing your premium payments on actual, not estimated, payroll – one pay period at a time. This flexibility can be critical to businesses that are experiencing staffing changes. We offer:
 
  • Broad form endorsements to help protect against certain unknown and unanticipated exposures not typically covered by a standard policy1
  • Our basic option is automatically included at no extra cost and includes employers’ liability stopgap for monopolistic states and voluntary compensation
  • Our extended option is available for an additional charge and includes increased limits for employer’s liability, foreign voluntary compensation and United States Longshore and Harbor workers’ Compensation Act (USL&H)
 
1 Some coverages may not be available in all states.
In the event that a claim made against a renewable energy business exceeds its primary liability coverage limit, The Hartford’s commercial umbrella insurance can help cover the additional costs.
 
With up to $25 million in policy limits, renewable energy businesses can rest assured knowing their commercial umbrella policy from The Hartford is there to help with additional protection when they need it most.
