Community Renewable Energy Insurance
What we do...
With the UK looking off track to meet our fourth and fifth carbon budgets of the Climate Change Act, there has never been a more important time to increase our output of renewable energy. Putting energy generation in the hands of communities has enormous potential and will certainly be a vital role in our future clean energy provision. In addition to helping provide an urgent alternative to fossil fuels, community energy can also help aleviate fuel poverty which affects over 4 million housholds in the UK and is predicted to lead to contribute to over 100,000 deaths. With the expansion of renewable energy infrastructure comes the need for specialist insurance cover. Naturesave offers community renewable energy insurance and is an innovative provider of renewable energy insurance products.
