Agenda 2026

Traditional insurance structures are evolving to address larger projects and increasingly complex risks, particularly around power. This panel will explore how innovative risk transfer solutions are unlocking insurance capacity for AI-ready infrastructure, with a focus on mitigating challenges such as grid interconnection delays, substation timing, and reliance on temporary or BTM power. 

Drawing on real-world examples from Lockton’s work with clients, we will highlight how solutions including parametric coverage, structured risk financing, and enhanced delay in start-up protections can be deployed across the data center lifecycle to protect timelines, revenue, and financing. The discussion will also address how aligning insurance with lender and investor expectations can de-risk projects and enable faster scaling in a power-constrained environment.
