Other Electric Power Generation
NAICS 221118 · United States · 2022 edition
This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in operating electric power generation facilities (except hydroelectric, fossil fuel, nuclear, solar, wind, geothermal, biomass). These facilities convert other forms of energy, such as tidal power, into electric energy. The electric energy produced in these establishments is provided to electric power transmission systems or to electric power distribution systems. UTILITIES 115
Start the review with property.
For Other Electric Power Generation, the saved research highlights property, utility liability, environmental liability. Confirm how these arise in the actual operation, what controls are used and whether additional services change the proposed coverage.
Questions to ask
- What specific generation technology is in use — tidal, wave, kinetic, or another source?
- Is the facility in a marine, coastal, or offshore environment, and what are the storm and wave exposure characteristics?
- What are the total insurable values for the generation infrastructure and equipment?
- What is the nature of the grid interconnect — direct transmission tie-in, distribution feed, or microgrid?
- Is any of the technology prototype or pre-commercial, and what is the operating history?
- Are there environmental permits or prior regulatory actions relevant to the site?
- For Other Electric Power Generation, what should the underwriter know about experimental or prototype technology with limited operating history and no established loss statistics?
- For Other Electric Power Generation, what should the underwriter know about offshore or tidal installations in high-wave or storm-surge environments with catastrophic loss potential?

Compare another operationInsurance operations research — draft
Establishments in this class operate power generation facilities using energy sources other than hydro, fossil fuel, nuclear, solar, wind, geothermal, or biomass — most commonly tidal, wave, or other experimental conversion technologies. Generated electricity is typically fed into transmission or distribution grids rather than consumed on-site. Operations tend to involve specialized infrastructure in challenging environments, often coastal or marine settings, with significant mechanical and electrical complexity.
