Germany's continued shift to renewable energy will raise demand for end-of-life liability and environmental coverage for companies involved in repowering and recycling supply chains. The end-of-life costs involved in dismantling and recycling existing energy infrastructure, whether renewable or non-renewable, will increase in coming years. Non-renewable sources are expected to decline and the early generation of renewable infrastructure is now reaching end-of-life. Organisations involved in these supply chains will need to consider any regulations for environmentally sound disposal and the appropriate insurance cover that is required. There is a significant risk that dismantling obligations and recycling processes will create environmental contamination if not carried out in an appropriate manner. Insurers need to ensure that businesses have adequate processes in place to manage the fundamental issue of hazards arising when undertaking these processes.
