European Risk Seminar 2024, Porto, Portugal

In June, we hosted our annual European Risk Seminar at the Boeira Garden Hotel on the south bank of the River Douro in Porto. This event is a highlight in our calendar, offering a unique opportunity to engage with key figures in the renewables sector to review industry risks from the past year and share insights on effective risk management strategies.

This year's venue, situated in the tranquil, leafy Porto, provided the perfect setting for productive discussions. Over the two-day seminar, we explored various critical topics, including:

• Navigating construction risks ahead of the next construction boom
• Lessons learned in early operations for floating wind
• How to manage risks for diverse, multi-technology portfolios
• Increasing appetite for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and the associated future risks
• Examples of the most unique and challenging global claims experienced over the past 12 months
• Insights from the last 5 years of cargo claims and the ongoing impacts of supply chain challenges in Europe

Our risk seminars are exclusive events for risk managers, bringing together market leaders in risk management and renewable energy insurance from Europe and beyond. These events foster discussion and debate on how lessons from more mature renewables markets can be applied to maximise opportunities in emerging markets.
