CONSTRUCTION ALL RISKS
Because of the wide variety of risks inherent in power plant construction and operation, risk sharing by contractor provisions or by insurance should be carefully evaluated to protect the equity from a failure or interruption of revenue receipts. Many of the risks associated with power project construction and plant operation are generally assumed by insurance companies. However, the many insurances that are available and required can be confusing and expensive.

Insurance for power projects has to encompass many differing priorities: the owner needs the latest technology to give maximum efficiency; the contractor wants the lowest deductibles to give minimal exposure; banks need the widest protection at any price; and, the insurance industry has to comply with government regulations and the project's Power Purchase Agreement. These conflicting demands serve to further complicate the situation.

As power projects become more complex, the financial and multi-legal aspects of the project packages interface - impairing the ability of each party to compromise and accept risk. And, for that reason, the lead finance party needs to be kept well advised and involved in negotiating the conditions of insurance to ensure that all parties understand and accept the framework of the project's long term benefits. The objective of all insurances is to protect the project from risks that are unexpected and accidental. However, they cannot provide for inevitable loss, nor for the protection of developing designs.

Risk Coverage
Because privately financed project development companies generally rely on the revenue from the sale of electric power of a project, delayed completion or unscheduled outages can jeopardize the project's coverage of current expenses. - including interest payments and loan repayments. Financial backers, therefore, require that the corresponding finance agreements reached with a project company contain comprehensive obligations covering those risks. Such agreements contain minimum insurance requirements monitored by the banks or other lenders, and often require the services of special consultants. Normally, the supplier of a turnkey power plant assumes all risk and liability for property damage during the planning and construction phases until the plant is provisionally handed over to the owner/developer.

Other risks existing on the part of the supplier, such as those related to outstanding work for completion of performance and activities governed by warranties are covered by Maintenance insurance linked to the Construction/Erection All Risks (CEAR) insurance. And, because subcontractors supply certain portions of the project, an insurance policy in the name of all participants is usually required to cover all subcontractors and consultants, as well as personnel and consultants/engineers supplied by the owner/developer. Power plants are complex and demanding when it comes to insurance coverage. Therefore, the various risks associated with project construction and plant operation must be carefully assessed, and covered by insurance policies to the greatest extent possible and economically feasible. And, because types of project coverage available vary widely, and change with the political and environmental surroundings of the territorial risk, it is necessary to arrange a package of coverage to meet the needs of all parties with interests in the project. Selection of the correct insurance program is a matter of negotiation. It needs effective and professional advice to ensure that resources are not wasted and that a long-term philosophy of protection is established for the project involving financially sound and experienced insurers and re-insurers.

Insurance Policies
Clearly, a well-defined insurance concept covering all major insurance-related risks avoids friction among the participating partners helping to ensure the on-time completion of the plant for the benefit of the customer.

Pre-Construction
Risks in the pre-construction phase include transport of plant components to the construction site from manufacturing facilities, and damage to property, covered by Marine Transit/Delay in Start-Up (MT/DSU) insurance (supplier's risk); manufacturer/set-up of plant components on suppliers' premises, normally covered by existing insurance programs of the individual suppliers/manufacturers; and loss of profit, covered by Marine Consequential Loss (customer's risk) While the market for coverage of material damage is normally large, the need to include DSU, following machine loss coverage, limits the market dramatically. Insurers often apply comparatively large deductibles to the material damage risk when DSU coverage is purchased, as compared with those deductibles available for material damage coverage alone. Construction/Erection Lenders are closely focused on ensuring the right level of project revenue, the risk exposure to that revenue, and the ability of the sponsor or contractor to adequately perform their obligations and complete the project. Thus, during the construction/erection phase of a power project, significant risks must be covered, including: storage of plant equipment on the project site and damage to property, with Construction/Erection All Risks (CEAR) insurance (contractor's risk); and loss of property, with Advanced Loss of Profit (ALOP) following CEAR insurance (customer's risk).

Construction/Erection All Risks (CEAR) - Wrap-up or owner-controlled insurance needed to ensure the availability, and most complete, coverage for construction. If the CEAR is a restricted coverage, then the scope of the DSU will be equally limited. Many DSU policies do not meet the initial operations of the project, and only respond after the anticipated performance acceptance. Thus, the widest form of protection under the CEAR will give a double benefit: enhanced material damage coverage, and wider coverage of the DSU exposure. Force majeure - This unique form of financial loss protection protects the project parties against a number of factors, including: Outside causes over which the insured have no direct control that may adversely affect the project development, such as: (direct or indirect physical damage that prevents the performance of the contract (perils in nature, strikes, etc.) - usually conventionally insured under project construction/erection "all risks" policies; and, (direct or indirect non-physical damage of a nature that can also prevent the performance of the contract (strikes, labour disputes, unanticipated changes in law/legislation, enforcement by order of court, etc.) Excusable causes granted to project participants for which an extension of time, relief, or excuse under contract might be granted - normally excluded from conventional CEAR policies. Any other cause beyond the control of all of the parties to the contract (including such things as archaeological finds, adverse soil conditions, losses under subsidiary or side agreements (such as prime tenancy, pre-determined purchase or sales agreements) - normally excluded from conventional CEAR policies.

Force majeure insurance can also be extended to include an element of advance loss of profit or delay in start-up coverage above that covered under a conventional construction "all risks" policy. Political force majeure - On international power projects, many Western companies and banks seek to mitigate political force majeure risks through insurance. The insurance market, both in the form of commercial insurers and export credit and investment agencies, creates coverages that can protect investors against risks, such as: Confiscation, nationalization and expropriation Physical damage due to war and terrorism Inability to remit hard currency earnings out of the host country Forced divestiture (where the investor's own government insists that an asset is divested) and forced abandonment (where the situation in a country deteriorates to such an extent that the asset has to be abandoned) Abrogation of allied agreements such as power purchase and fuel supply agreements. Such coverages are applicable both to equity investments and to loan capital, and are widely used by sponsors, investors, and advising banks. Loss-of-Profit - Based on the corresponding property insurance coverages, policies can be drawn up providing insurance for loss of profit caused by equipment damage during transport - Marine Consequential Loss (MCL) insurance; and during construction and erection - ALOP insurance, or alternatively - DSU insurance. Construction - Loss of profit coverage during project construction includes insurance for losses due to delayed completion of the plant, resulting from events related to deliveries to the site or to construction activities.

Operation
Loss of profit coverage during plant operation is of particular importance to the operator, because the warranty extended by the power plant supplier, covering the construction, commissioning, and warranty periods, is limited to property damage, whereas the risk of loss of profit rests with the customer alone, (except for liquidated damages). In the event that no revenue can be realized from the sale of the electrical power, such monetary risks can also be covered by insurance. However, it normally requires that corresponding property insurance also cover the property damage resulting in monetary loss. During plant operation, loss of profit is normally covered by Business Interruption (BI) insurance following Property All-Risk (PAR) insurance, including Machine Breakdown (MB) coverage. The better the property insurance coverage, the better the loss-of-profit insurance

AVGEN SOLUTIONS LTD
In the current economic climate, contractors are increasingly being asked to provide a performance bond. A performance bond is a form of security provided by a contractor to a developer and consists of an undertaking by a bank or insurance company to make a payment to the employer in circumstances where the contractor has defaulted under the contract.

Conditional Bonds
A conditional bond, by contrast, is common within the construction industry. Such a bond is usually issued by an insurance company, and payment is usually conditional upon the employer who makes the call proving the amount of loss which he has suffered. In practice, therefore, a conditional bond may require litigation before any payment can be obtained. The value of a performance bond is usually expressed as a percentage of the contract price, usually between five and twenty per cent of the contract price with ten per cent by far the most common figure. A bond issued under English law is usually executed as a deed.

Banks vs. Surety Companies
The two main suppliers of Performance Bonds are banks and surety companies. Banks will generally take 100% cash collateral security for the duration of the contract. If you have that amount of cash in credit, this is a fantastic option as the bank will pay interest on the cash amount which will probably pay for the bond itself. The downside to this arrangement could be a serious affect on your business’ cash flow for the duration of the contract as the cash is not immediately accessible. An overdraft facility can often be set up to resolve this but these usually need to be secured with personal guarantees or property. As a result, using a bank could end up more expensive and prohibitive. Bonds and surety are a strange world and we often find that it is not until you are about to sign up with banks that they tell you about the cash collateral. Our best advice would be to check with them before signing anything. Using a surety company, on the other hand, means that cash flow will not be affected and the cost of the bond will therefore stand apart from company banked finances. The surety market, however, is international so care should be taken with the details. You should be especially aware where personal guarantees are requested. Should the product pay out, surety companies will seek recovery from individuals.

We would always recommend you get specialist advice on any surety product before purchase. As with most financial products, the devil is in the detail.

Other Types of Bonds
Advance Payment Bonds - A bond to cover any advance you may receive from your employer. Usually the advance is used to buy materials to get prepared for a job. These bonds will be 100% of the advance payment made. Retention Bonds - A bond given to the employer in lieu of them holding retention monies against them. This can free-up cash to assist cash flow and is usually in the region of 2.5% or 5% of the contract value.

THE LONDON MARKET
The London Market is what is popularly known as, the home of insurance. It’s the world’s largest and ancient market; going back to more than 3 centuries old! London is home to some of the biggest insurance companies, underwriters and brokers; and also the Lloyd’s of London – which contrary to popular understanding is not a company. The origins of the London Insurance market and that of Lloyd’s of London can be traced back to 1688 when Edward Lloyd’s coffee house was a popular place for sailors, merchants & ship-owners. The shipping industry community frequented the place discuss insurance amongst themselves. The London Insurance market works a lot differently that any other insurance market in the world. A lot of that is to do with tradition not uncommon in the British world of things. However, the last couple of years have seen the ‘ancient’ market embrace some of the latest developments to make London as the Market of Choice. The London market has a good technical background supporting the broker/underwriter relationships. Traditionally, the London Insurance Market is a lot about face-to-face business. However, in the recent past, it has seen the introduction of Electronic Claims to ensure speedy agreement of claims. With regulation & transparency at an all-time high, it won’t be long before the London Insurance market regains some of the glory it has lost.

There are lots of companies around the world which deal in insurance, so putting up a top 25 list would be difficult. We have placed the first three in order of their Market Value. (Source:Forbes) •Allianz – Formerly known as Allianz AG, this is without doubt one of the largest insurers around the globe, providing services such as health, property life, casualty, and more. With support and backing from the Allianz Global Investors company. Allianz Global Investor`s company ,Allianz is now ranked as one of the world’s leading insurance companies and with good reason •American International Group, Inc – Another one of the worlds leading insurance companies, the American International Group, Inc., more often called AIG, this company has a solid reputation for outstanding life and non – life insurance, as well as reinsurance, retirement plans, financial services, and asset management assistance in more than 130 countries. •AXA – Made up of many mutual insurance companies ,AXA has subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Belgium, Australia and its headquarters is located in the United States. Whether looking for personal or commercial coverage, this company offers outstanding products and services. While the world is experiencing a financial crisis, insurance companies are still forging ahead. While many people have lost their homes and jobs. Insurance is one product many people cannot live without. Whether by law or by necessity, people still have car, health, life and other types of insurance in effect. Most of the top insurance companies of the world remain financially robust with some exceptions.

LLOYD'S
Unlike many other insurance brands, Lloyd's is not a company; it's a market where our members join together as syndicates to insure risk Much of Lloyd’s business works by subscription, where more than one syndicate takes a share of the same risk. Business is conducted face-to-face between brokers and underwriters in the Underwriting Room. When we talk of Lloyd’s, we’re really referring to two distinct parts. The market, which is made up of many independent businesses, and the Corporation of Lloyd’s, which is there – broadly speaking – to oversee that market. These parts are distinct, but far from independent. Both work closely to maintain high standards of performance across the market. The following pages will give you an insight into the unique way in which Lloyd’s is structured, the role of the market and The Corporation, and the different departments (directorates) that make up Lloyd’s.

THE LLOYD'S MARKET
The Lloyd’s market is home to over 50 managing agents and over 80 syndicates, which offer an unrivalled concentration of specialist underwriting expertise and talent. Business at Lloyd’s is still conducted face-to-face, and the bustling Underwriting Room is central to the smooth running of the market. The market structure encourages innovation, speed and better value, making it attractive to policyholders and participants alike. Immediate access to decision-makers means that answers on whether a risk can be placed are made quickly, enabling the broker to provide fast, good-value solutions. The majority of business written at Lloyd’s is placed through brokers who facilitate the risk-transfer process between clients (policyholders) and underwriters. Clients can discuss their risk needs with a broker, a cover holder or a service company. Specialist underwriters for each syndicate price, underwrite and handle any subsequent claims in relation to the risk. This diagram is a basic representation of the structure of the market and its participants. A detailed description of the participants can be found below.

POLICYHOLDERS Policyholders request insurance cover. Businesses, organisations, other insurers and individuals from around the world want to protect themselves against risks that could affect them. They approach a broker and explain their individual needs.

LLOYD'S BROKERS Accredited Lloyd's brokers place risks in the Lloyd's market on behalf of clients. These brokers use their specialist knowledge to negotiate competitive terms and conditions for clients. Currently there are over 180 firms of brokers working at Lloyd's, many of whom specialise in particular risk categories. Each broker is required to demonstrate an understanding of the Lloyd's market, as part of Lloyd's assessment of its suitability to be accredited as a Lloyd's broker. All brokers must satisfy all relevant regulatory requirements. Lloyd's performs a careful assessment of all applicant brokers, affirming their reputation and financial standing and investigating the character and suitability of officers and employees before making the decision to accredit.

SYNDICATES A Lloyd’s syndicate is made up of one or more members that join together as a group to accept insurance risks. They operate on an ongoing basis, although they are technically annual ventures. Members have the right but not an obligation to participate in syndicates for the following year. In practice, most syndicates are usually supported by the same capital providers for several years. The stability of the core capital providers mean syndicates function like permanent insurance operations, under the Lloyd’s umbrella. Syndicates tailor solutions to respond to the specific risks of the client base and compete for business, thus offering choice, flexibility and continuing innovation. Syndicates cover either all or a portion of the risk and are staffed by underwriters, the insurance professionals on whose expertise and judgement the market depends.
