Assistant Underwriter, Renewable Energy

About kWh Analytics

kWh Analytics is insuring the energy transition. We underwrite property insurance and revenue firming products for renewable energy assets. Our proprietary loss database of over $150B of renewables asset value and over $1.5B in loss data supports advanced modeling, insights, and precise risk assessment for renewable energy, mixed energy, and low-carbon projects.

In March 2026, Beazley, a leading specialty insurer, acquired kWh Analytics. Beazley believes that the global energy transition is a significant strategic growth opportunity and is focused on underwriting the complex risks that will enable the transition. kWh Analytics will add scalability and enhance Beazley’s capabilities in modelling, underwriting and risk management across renewable energy portfolios.
