Zwolle / ’s-Hertogenbosch, 5 March 2026 – Green Grid Solutions B.V., part of The Sharing Group, and Howden Nederland B.V. have entered into a partnership to ensure that sustainable energy and grid congestion projects are insurable from an early stage. This enables developers, investors and asset owners to reach bankable projects more quickly.
The energy transition is accelerating, but the complexity of projects and the associated risks are increasing. In energy hubs and battery storage systems, multiple parties often share a single grid connection, assets are operated jointly, and mutual liabilities and performance agreements arise. As a result, insurability is no longer a final step, but a critical prerequisite for financing and stable operations.
Through this collaboration, Green Grid Solutions and Howden directly link technical and contractual project structures to insurance solutions. By identifying risks at an early stage and translating them into concrete choices in contracts and project design, clients can more quickly achieve an insurable and financeable structure.
Thijs Afman, CEO of Green Grid Solutions: “Our clients want to move forward, while keeping risks under control. Not only through technology and contracts, but also by providing comfort to financiers and stakeholders. Together with Howden, we are taking an important step in professionalism and speed.”
Jordy de Jong, Director Construction & Engineering at Howden: “We see a strong need for clear, project-oriented solutions for risk management and insurability in the energy sector. Together with Green Grid Solutions, we can already contribute during the contract phase, ensuring projects do not get stuck later on financing or insurability.”
