Battery Storage Insurance
Pulse Clean Energy Secures Long-Term Insurance for UK Battery Projects
Mursal Rahman — July 7, 2026
Technology performance insurance is expanding the financial toolkit for battery energy storage by helping developers secure long-term protection for project performance. Pulse Clean Energy has become the first energy storage developer in the UK to obtain Technology Performance Insurance (TPI) from Ariel Green for two battery storage projects, with coverage lasting up to 13 years. The tailored policy is designed to support project financing while giving operators greater flexibility to replace components and manage assets throughout their operational lifespan. By reducing technology and performance risks, the insurance strengthens lender confidence and improves the long-term bankability of battery energy storage systems.
This model could encourage wider investment in grid-scale storage by addressing one of the sector's biggest financing hurdles. As renewable energy deployment accelerates, specialized insurance products may become an increasingly important tool for lowering investment risk, supporting infrastructure growth and enabling more resilient electricity networks.
