Combined Cycle
Renewable Guard
Approach
A combined-cycle power plant is a form of renewable energy in that it uses both a gas and a steam turbine together to produce up to 50% more electricity from the same fuel than a traditional simple-cycle plant. The waste heat from the gas turbine is routed to the nearby steam turbine, which generates extra power.
More and more, we are seeing owners of these combined-cycle plants expand their portfolio into other renewables, such as solar and wind. Our approach is to leverage the size and scale of existing combined-cycle portfolios to improve the overall insurance terms on a multi-vertical renewable energy portfolio.
Bespoke Solutions for the Combined Cycle Industry
Concierge Insurance Services
Sometimes insureds feel like they are discarded or lost at big box insurance brokerages. Not here. With elite, high-caliber, and high-touch customer relations, we provide our clients with a concierge experience that they won’t find elsewhere.
Project finance closing support
We have bolstered our support for your closings by hiring a former STANCE insurance lender consultant on staff. Having represented lenders and tax equity investors on hundreds of renewable energy transactions, our consultant now uses that knowledge to help clients navigate insurance requirements for closings.
parametric insurance
Renewable Guard helped innovate the first parametric hail solution for solar 3 years ago. Since then we have expanded to other severe weather exposures. Parametrics have the ability to be far more competitive than traditional insurance.
Tax credit insurance
With the passing of the Inflation Reduction Act, there are more questions than ever about the application of tax credits. This can also give investors heartburn and tax credit insurance is a great solution for addressing these concerns while helping deals get done.
