Move retained risk off the balance sheet.

Power generation owners carry significant uninsured exposure under high-deductible MBBI structures. SAMP Risk's plant-level data lets insurers price down that deductible with confidence — turning retained risk into released capital.

Deductible relief, priced on evidence

On Machinery Breakdown Business Interruption (MBBI) policies, the Machinery Breakdown deductible often runs materially higher than the general deductible — leaving an uninsured gap the owner must absorb. For leveraged renewable and power assets, that traps hard-earned capital.

The challenge is rarely whether the owner wants lower retained exposure. It's whether the insurer has enough credible, granular information to price that layer responsibly. SAMP Risk closes that gap with a clear view of the plant's actual risk profile — so insurers can offer cover for part of the retained layer, and brokers can put a differentiated MBBI structure in front of clients.

How the buy-down works.

01 · Assess
Plant-level risk data and equipment-level analytics profile the retained-risk layer.
02 · Model
Stochastic loss modelling prices the Machinery Breakdown deductible layer.
03 · Structure
A commercial agreement sits alongside the existing MBBI wording — no policy rewrite.
04 · Cover
The insurer covers part of the high-deductible layer, with confidence in the price.
05 · Release
Retained exposure moves into the insurance programme, freeing capital off the balance sheet.

Capital, unlocked.

~$14m
Freed from the balance sheet

On a thermal power plant, the Business Interruption policy carried a 60-day general deductible while the Machinery Breakdown section sat at 90 days — a 30-day uninsured gap. SAMP Risk's granular risk data and equipment-level analytics let the insurer price the buy-down and cut the Machinery Breakdown deductible to 45 days.

  • ~$14m of previously uninsured risk freed from the balance sheet
