New Energy Risk (‘NER’), a specialist in technology performance insurance with more than a decade of experience underwriting complex technology projects, and OAK Global, a leading risk partner that combines science and data-driven analytics with extensive underwriting expertise, announced that NER has obtained Lloyd’s coverholder status for its tax credit insurance business. OAK Global has sponsored NER’s application and will underwrite the business through Syndicate 2843 (OAK Reinsurance) as part of its Transition TCX class, extending OAK Global's U.S. presence in the climate and technology space.

The coverholder appointment, granted via NER’s parent company, Paragon Insurance Group on 1 April 2026, authorises NER to underwrite and bind insurance on behalf of Lloyd’s syndicates. It extends the capacity behind NER’s tax credit insurance products, which address the availability, transferability and monetisation of tax credits, and which play a practical role in the financing of clean energy projects in the U.S.

“Achieving Lloyd’s coverholder status represents an important validation of our underwriting discipline, risk management framework, and expertise in tax credit risk,” said George Schulz, CEO of NER. “Our ability to combine technical underwriting, legal expertise, actuarial rigor and market insight allows us to provide scalable, high-quality insurance solutions that help investors, developers and lenders manage tax credit risks with confidence.”

“We are excited to work with OAK Global as a leading capacity partner,” added Mr Schulz. “Their innovative underwriting philosophy, combined with deep underwriting expertise and focus on execution, is an opportunity that will allow us to grow this market.”

For OAK Global, the sponsorship sits within OAK Horizon, a strategic business unit which commenced operations on 1 January 2026 and is focused on underwriting across the climate and technology ecosystem.

“New Energy Risk has built significant expertise in a segment that’s critical to the U.S. energy transition," said Cathal Carr, Founder and CEO of OAK Global. “We’re pleased to sponsor their coverholder status at Lloyd’s and to work alongside them through OAK Horizon, where tax credit insurance fits naturally with other innovative structures supporting the financing of low-carbon infrastructure.”
