Insurance Services

Lycetts, the market leading brokers in the rural sector, is dedicated to providing a professional insurance broking and risk management service for businesses engaged in a wide range of renewable energy projects including those involved in micro hydro-electric schemes.

Since 1878 when Cragside House in Northumberland was the first to be lit with hydro-electricity this form of renewable energy has become increasingly popular.

We are able to arrange insurance cover on a 'cradle to grave' basis from the construction phase of the micro hydro-electric scheme through to the hydro-electricity plant being fully operational, alternatively insurance cover can be arranged on a stand-alone basis for either the construction or operational risk.
