BEST RISK MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS ARE IDENTIFIED

摘要

Global economic woes have taken their toll, but investment in renewable projects is still strong and since 2010 has surpassed investment in new fossil fuel plants. But - as a new report by the Economist Intelligence Unit (ElU) of Swiss Re reminds us - as investment grows, so too do the risks involved in owning, managing and operating such installations. To gain insight into the sector's own estimation of the significant risks involved in renewable projects, the EIU surveyed 280 senior executives in the renewable energy industry. The respondents were based in western Europe (Germany, the UK, Denmark, Spain and Italy), North America and Australia. The results detail the ways that industry executives are managing and reducing risk, the instruments they are using to transfer some of these risks, and the risk management challenges they face.
