W Denis Group Launches Division Focused on Insuring Data Centers

Insurance broker W Denis Group this week launched a new specialist division focused exclusively on insuring data centers and their integrated power generation infrastructure. The broker said the new unit will deliver “comprehensive, competitively priced solutions backed by multi-billion capacity on a global basis.”

Risk and insurance solutions are available to cover construction risks including delay in start-up; operational property damage and machinery breakdown; business interruption, including utility failure triggers; on-site power generation asset insurance; third-party legal liabilities; legal indemnities (e.g. planning, easements); cyber, data breach, and E&O exposures; and specialist claims support and advocacy.

Mark Dutton, chief commercial officer at W Denis, said: “Data centers are among the most critical and energy-intensive assets in the modern economy. Our new division recognises that effective insurance must cover both the data and the power that keeps it alive. Our clients benefit from deep technical expertise, strong capacity, and joined-up coverage from build to operation.”
