MACHINERY INSURANCE

Chubb protects the essential equipment that powers your business

Machinery is the backbone of mostly all power businesses, so we protect the plant that keeps your company running. Our Operational Power Insurance products cover your boilers and machinery for breakdown, failure and damage. We’ll also help get you back on track with business interruption cover following a failure.

RISK SCENARIO

Who it’s for

We offer customised machinery insurance for these industries and sectors:

  • Traditional thermal power generation (coal, oil and gas as the fuel).
  • Renewable and alternative energy providers, including:
    • o   Municipal and other incinerator operators (burning Municipal Solid Fuel (MSF) or Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF). Burning this waste saves landfill and the ash can be used for other things leaving virtually no waste.
    • Onshore wind turbines.
    • PV solar power providers.
    • Short Term Operating Reserve (STOR) power suppliers.
    • Battery storage electricity providers.
    • Hydro electrical and pump storage electricity suppliers.
    • Combined Heat and Power (CHP) electricity and waste heat providers.
    • Biomass power providers where wood chips or wood waste is burned to create electricity via a steam turbine / generator or Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) plant.
    • Geothermal electricity power providers.
    • Nuclear electricity providers (virtually all are part of large multinational utility risks).
    • Hydrogen power generation.

  • Machinery malfunction
