Smart Energy Underwriting Forum 2026
Digital monitoring and analytics systems are now shaping the operation of wind and battery storage projects. Continuous operational and condition data make risks more transparent – often in real time.
At the same time, the demands on energy underwriters are increasing: more complex technologies, new damage patterns, and growing pressure from brokers and clients. While underwriting is still largely based on static application data, dynamic asset data is becoming increasingly available.
This raises a key question: How does energy underwriting change when data is available not only in the application but also during ongoing operations?
The Smart Energy Underwriting Forum 2026 addresses precisely this transformation. As a focused deep dive following BESScon, the event translates the reality of monitoring into concrete implications for underwriting, contract logic, and product development in the BESS and wind energy sectors.

Our Focus Topics:
The forum highlights key questions surrounding data-driven energy underwriting – from the use of continuous operational data to new requirements for insurance products and processes.

Market & Reality:
Where does data-driven underwriting stand today?
-
What damage patterns and risk dynamics emerge in the real-world operation of BESS and wind energy projects – and what aspects of these can already be captured using data?
-
Share your feature information here to attract new clients. Provide a brief summary to help visitors understand the context and background.
-
What does "AI insurance" actually mean – and where do misunderstandings, limitations, and real-world applications lie?

Application & Process:
What specific changes occur in underwriting?

-
How does the process chain from sales through risk assessment and pricing to claims and renewal change when continuous operational data is available?
-
What new requirements arise regarding roles, decision-making logic, and collaboration between underwriting, risk engineering, and claims?
-
How can monitoring data be operationally integrated without increasing complexity, liability issues, or interface problems?
Contract Logic & Integration:
When Data Becomes Part of the Contract
-
What obligations and contractual mechanisms are necessary to accurately represent continuous risk data?
-
What criteria must be met for data-driven underwriting to become scalable and marketable?
-
How can pilot projects be implemented pragmatically together with clients and brokers?

Our Program
Keynote address, expert presentation, live demo, and an intensive workshop with a limited number of participants (15–20 people).
The focus is on collaboratively developing a realistic process chain – from traditional underwriting with static data to a data-driven model with continuous risk monitoring. The goal is to derive concrete requirements, action items, and new practical insights.
(Detailed agenda to follow.)

Our Speakers
Insights from real-world monitoring, analytics, and energy underwriting practice – including presentations from ACCURE Battery Intelligence, PROTH!NX, and HDI Global.
