Energy Transition

A new approach, grounded in proven practice

Your risk partner for a resilient energy future

As the energy landscape evolves, so do the risks. We work with clients across the entire energy transition ecosystem, navigating complex risks from pre-final investment decision, construction, operation through to decommissioning. Howden helps you turn uncertainty into advantage – protect your innovations, unlock investment, and make confident decisions across your energy transition projects.

By understanding your risk profile and strategic objectives, we design customised insurance solutions that protect your assets and deliver peace of mind. We don’t just offer insurance; we deliver certainty.
