Abstract

A growing number of businesses have begun to consider the benefits of voluntarily purchasing renewable energy. This new interest from large commercial clients has prompted green energy providers to create novel ways for these entities to get involved in the long-term development of new renewable energy generation. Some of these new plans are designed so that the purchase of this energy can provide long-term off-take stability and other financial benefits to companies developing the renewable energy projects. However, since some of these new purchasing options involve a certain amount of financial risk on the part of the business, there is a role for two new insurance products.
