MSIG Asia and The RiskPoint Group have teamed up to strengthen renewable energy (RE) insurance in the Asia Pacific region.
With approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore, RiskPoint will serve as MSIG Singapore’s Managing General Agent.
This partnership will leverage Singapore’s role as an insurance hub to provide tailored coverage for solar, wind, and hydroelectric projects.
By combining MSIG’s regional network and financial strength with RiskPoint’s underwriting expertise, the partnership aims to address key sector challenges such as regulatory changes and natural disasters.
With over USD 3 trillion projected for power investments in APAC over the next decade, this initiative supports MSIG’s 2029 Growth Ambition and aligns with Singapore’s green energy goals.
The collaboration builds on a longstanding relationship between the companies, dating back to 2008, and aims to support large-scale renewable energy projects across the region.
