Howden has expanded its renewable energy quote-and-bind facility across its UK network, following a successful pilot in Scotland.

Backed by Aviva and accredited by Lloyd’s, the platform is exclusive to Howden’s UK retail network.

The facility provides up to £150m capacity per declaration with pre-agreed rates and bespoke policy terms. It covers both construction and operational phases for onshore wind, solar PV, battery energy storage systems and hydro power.

Deborah Duss, head of strategy for industry evolution, commented: “Howden’s renewable energy facility provides the speed of service to our clients that is required to succeed in this very agile and cost competitive industry. The tech solution enables innovation and process automation whilst not sacrificing underwriting expertise.”

The facility now includes employers’ and public liability and sabotage and terrorism cover, with further enhancements planned for 2026.
