  • Aviva doubles offshore renewable energy capacity to £150m (€175m / $200m)
  • Move strengthens its position as a credible lead-market insurer
  • Roberts Proskovics appointed to lead Aviva’s Renewable Energy team within Aviva Risk Management Solutions, bringing specialist expertise in fixed and floating offshore wind

Aviva has today announced a significant expansion of its offshore renewable energy proposition, doubling its capacity to £150 million (€175 million/$200 million).

The increased capacity is part of Aviva’s broader strategy to grow its Renewable Energy proposition and provide brokers and clients with a strong, technically capable alternative in a rapidly evolving market.

The move strengthens Aviva’s position as a lead-market insurer in the offshore renewables space and reinforces its continued commitment to supporting the global energy transition.

To further strengthen its proposition, Aviva has appointed Roberts Proskovics, Head of Risk Management – Renewable Energy to lead its Renewable Energy team within Aviva Risk Management Solutions. Roberts brings deep expertise in both fixed and floating offshore wind, complementing the existing capabilities within the Aviva Renewable Energy Risk Management team.

Matt Gordon, Underwriting Director, Specialty & Real Estate, said:

“Aviva’s significant expansion in offshore renewables capacity reflects our continued investment in building a market-leading renewable energy proposition. This move not only supports our brokers’ and clients’ net-zero ambitions but also helps power the future of offshore renewables, helping the UK - and the world - get ready for the clean energy transition.

“With Roberts joining our already talented Aviva Risk Management Solutions team, we now bring together deep underwriting expertise with robust risk management and claims capabilities. This enhanced team is well-positioned to support the next generation of renewable energy projects - from seabed to skyline. By deepening our technical capabilities, we’re reinforcing our role as a strong lead market, both offshore and onshore.”

This development supports the strategic ambitions of Aviva’s Global, Corporate & Specialty business as it accelerates towards becoming a market-leading, dual-platform specialty insurer - offering both digital and bespoke solutions across complex risks.

Aviva’s expanded offshore renewables capacity is now available to brokers and clients across global markets. For more information or to connect with the team, brokers can reach out via LinkedIn or through their usual Aviva contact.
