Aon Expands Data Center Lifecycle Insurance Program Capacity to $3.5B

Aon plc is expanding its proprietary (DCLP) with an additional $1 billion, increasing the program’s capacity to $3.5 billion.

In addition, coverage will extend to include existing data centers coming off the first year of operations. With this enhancement, Aon’s DCLP now provides continuity of coverage into long鈥憈erm operations, extending coordinated support to existing, mission鈥慶ritical data center assets beyond construction and commissioning.

“Data centers have become foundational to innovation, connectivity and economic growth,” said Joe Peiser, CEO of Risk Capital at Aon, in a statement. “As these assets grow in size, complexity and importance, resilience must be built from the start. By expanding our Data Center Lifecycle Insurance Program and extending coverage to operating data centers, Aon is helping clients anticipate risk, protect critical assets and invest in digital infrastructure with greater confidence.”
