Reviewing insured values: how to maximize return on capital

Supply chain disruption is inflating insured values and lengthening restoration periods, due to specialized equipment requiring lead times often exceeding a year. It’s also significantly increasing the cost of materials and labor, thereby driving up the values that energy companies should report at renewal.

If an energy company faces a business interruption event, it will want to avoid further pain in its recovery. Today, this means ensuring that policy terms and conditions reflect longer timeframes and increased costs.
