energy & power sector
natural infrastructure powers your operations
from hydropower watersheds to transmission corridors, energy infrastructure depends on—and impacts—natural systems. ensurance transforms this relationship from risk to resilience.

how energy & power depends on ecosystem services & natural capital
key challenges
energy companies face escalating climate risks, water dependencies, and environmental compliance costs while investors demand nature-positive strategies.
water dependencies
thermal and hydropower generation require reliable water supplies increasingly threatened by drought, wildfire, and watershed degradation.
transmission corridor risk
wildfire exposure near transmission lines creates catastrophic liability, PSPS events, and infrastructure damage.
climate & regulatory pressure
decarbonization mandates and TNFD-style disclosure requirements demand new approaches to nature dependencies.
community & land access
renewable energy siting requires navigating complex stakeholder relationships and land use conflicts.
how ensurance helps
fund watershed protection that secures water supply for hydro and thermal generation at lower cost than engineered alternatives
invest in fuel reduction and forest health that protects transmission corridors and reduces wildfire liability
create nature-positive offtake agreements that satisfy ESG requirements and community expectations
structure community benefit programs through ensurance instruments that align local interests with project success
generate verified nature impact data for regulatory compliance and investor reporting
use cases
real-world scenarios for energy & power
hydro watershed investment
a hydropower operator funds headwater forest protection through ensurance certificates, improving water yield timing and reducing sedimentation—with verified metrics satisfying FERC relicensing requirements.
transmission corridor resilience
a utility invests in fuel reduction ensurance across 100,000 acres adjacent to priority transmission lines, reducing PSPS events by 40% and cutting wildfire liability exposure.
solar + ecosystem co-benefit
a solar developer structures ensurance funding pollinator habitat and soil regeneration beneath panels, creating additional revenue streams while meeting community benefit requirements.
