DeterTech and Gallagher have announced a strategic partnership to prevent crime at renewable energy sites, reduce repeat targeting and improve access to effective insurance cover, helping site owners better protect renewable energy assets.
Under the partnership, site owners who commission a DeterTech security risk assessment and implement its recommendations – alongside meeting all other standard underwriting criteria – can expect these measures to be considered by insurers when assessing risk and setting premiums for insurance arranged through Gallagher.
Where sites subsequently experience no further incidents or claims, Gallagher will proactively engage with insurers to demonstrate the strength of the risk profile and seek improved terms, such as low claims rebates where applicable.
Speaking about the partnership, Mark Kubis-Law, corporate account director, DeterTech, said:
“DeterTech and Gallagher have a shared mission to bring greater peace of mind to people and communities, every day, so it made sense to join forces. As the UK expands its renewable generation capacity at unprecedented speed, criminals are becoming more sophisticated, more organised, and more relentless. Once targeted, sites face a very high likelihood of repeat victimisation. Our mission is to help operators break that cycle, protect their infrastructure, and give them confidence to build for the future.”
