Frequently Asked Questions
Why do geothermal projects require long-term life insurance planning?
Geothermal projects have 30-50 year operational lifetimes. Whole life insurance provides permanent coverage matching these timelines, ensuring key person protection and buy-sell funding remain available throughout the project lifecycle.
How should geothermal partnerships structure ownership agreements?
Geothermal project partnerships should establish buy-sell agreements accounting for proven resource valuations, PPA contract values, and infrastructure investments. Life insurance funded agreements ensure capital availability for transitions during multi-decade projects.
