New offering will support even more FM clients in their transition to renewable energy

LUXEMBOURG, March 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Commercial property insurer FM today announced its insurance policy for renewable energy operation is now available to clients in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), bringing decades of power generation research and engineering expertise to this growing market.

FM's new offering will help EMEA clients in their transition to alternative energy through research and innovation as well as support the overall advancement of the renewable energy industry. The growth of the renewable energy sector is expected to accelerate in response to climate emission reduction targets, even as the industry faces challenges associated with new technologies and increased vulnerability to loss events, particularly climate-related hazards. The launch of FM's renewable energy operational policy in EMEA will help FM's clients navigate this rapidly evolving risk landscape.

"We are thrilled to expand our renewable energy services and solutions to more FM clients around the world," said Doug Patterson, senior vice president, Forest Products and FM Renewable Energy at FM.
