The energy revo­lu­tion would not be pos­si­ble were it not for the risk pro­tec­tion offe­red by ins­urance. Clean ener­gies have also chan­ged the nature of engi­nee­ring insu­rers’ busi­ness, accoun­ting for almost a fifth of their pre­mi­ums.

Sol­vency II Review: High-Level-Dis­cus­sion about Chal­len­ges and Oppor­tu­ni­ties
