Renewable Energy Cyber Risk
FirstNRG Insurance Services provides access to unique cyber risk insurance product specifically designed to protect renewable energy projects from the growing threat posed by cyber attacks on proprietary and third-party IT or Operational Technology systems.
Cyber attacks, while increasing in regularity, are currently a low incidence risk, but when an incident does occur, losses are very high, due to the potential for a single attack that can compromise and delay the entire project.
In this case, losses can include not only Business Interruption costs resulting from project under performance, but also reputational loss, or theft, of valuable SCADA data.

Renewable energy projects are at risk to two major cyber risks:
· Exposure to ransomware that threatens to publish and corrupt confident data and to block access to project management systems, unless a ransom is paid.
