Recent storms in Florida have underscored the vulnerabilities of alternative energy infrastructure, necessitating enhanced resilience in the face of extreme weather. Trevor Gilstrap, senior vice president at AssuredPartners, noted that solar panels and wind turbines are susceptible to damage from hurricanes and severe winds, highlighting the importance of proactive weather preparedness for energy firms. To mitigate risks, companies should assess infrastructure vulnerabilities, invest in structural enhancements, and adopt tailored insurance coverage for renewable energy assets. As climate-related events become more frequent, a comprehensive approach including improved monitoring and emergency planning is vital for safeguarding investments in sustainable energy.
