Earthquakes. Windstorms. Wildfires. We’ve seen all these, and more, in the past few months; Mexico suffered three earthquakes in September alone, and hurricanes, floods and wildfires across America have made headlines around the world. Aside from the terrible human losses sustained, these events have a significant impact on renewable-energy assets and, consequently, on the corresponding insurance markets.

Although the full impact of recent events has yet to become clear, and recognising that we are only halfway through the hurricane season, GCube is already seeing major claims come in for damaged assets.
