kWh Analytics, Aspen Partner on Property Insurance for Renewables
kWh Analytics, a leader in climate insurance, announced the launch of property insurance for renewable energy assets with capacity partner Aspen Insurance. This new product will provide coverage against physical damage for solar and other renewable projects.

“The shift to a decarbonized economy is the largest macroeconomic revolution of our generation, and insurance will play a critical role in securing its future. Recognizing that this transformation requires a new approach to pricing, managing, and ultimately mitigating the new risks of the clean energy asset class, kWh Analytics is committed to underwriting products that enable the financing of renewable assets,” said Jason Kaminsky, CEO of kWh Analytics. ”
