Aon Launches $2.5B Insurance Program for Gas Power Projects
Aon's new Power Lifecycle Program offers multiline coverage for conventional gas plants serving utility and digital infrastructure clients.
Aon plc (NYSE: AON) announced Monday the launch of its Power Lifecycle Program, a new multiline insurance solution designed to support conventional gas power projects that underpin expanding digital infrastructure across the United States and beyond. The Dublin-based professional services firm said the program can provide up to $2.5 billion in coverage spanning both construction and operational phases.
The product targets utility operators and digital infrastructure clients — including data center developers — who are increasingly turning to natural gas generation to meet surging power demand driven by artificial intelligence workloads and cloud computing expansion. Aon positioned the offering as a response to a widening gap between available insurance capacity and the scale of energy projects now coming online.

The announcement comes as insurers and risk advisers compete to serve a power sector undergoing rapid capital investment, with demand for reliable baseload generation intensifying alongside renewable intermittency concerns.
