Origin Surety Launches a New Decommissioning Bond Program
No cash collateral and project-level indemnity simplify procurement of decommissioning bonds for clients in the renewable energy sector.
Origin Surety Insurance Services, LLC, known for its expertise in surety brokerage for renewable energy, has launched an innovative nationwide decommissioning bond program in collaboration with Propeller. This program is designed to address the security requirements for decommissioning obligations, allowing clients to use surety bonds instead of traditional letters of credit or cash deposits.
Simplified Surety Bond Procurement
The newly offered decommissioning bond program allows project owners and operators to follow a more straightforward process in securing surety capacity. It only requires indemnity at the project level, making it possible to sidestep the need for cash collateral. This significant shift means that clients can prevent any cross-collateralization between various assets and projects, effectively containing liabilities specifically to individual projects, all while preserving essential development capital.
What This Means for Renewable Energy Clients
Joseph Tinana, Vice President of Origin Surety, emphasizes the firm’s understanding of the unique requirements of renewable energy clients. He highlights that by confining indemnification exposure to just the project level and removing cash collateral prerequisites, the agency has developed a unique and flexible solution for securing bonds. This flexibility allows clients to deploy their capital more efficiently, unlocking debt facilities or cash reserves that would otherwise be tied up as collateral.
A Step Toward Streamlined Bonding Processes
Origin Surety's decommissioning bond program marks the initial move towards simplifying the overall bonding process. As the renewable energy landscape evolves, so does the need for tailored surety solutions. The organization's goal is to offer effective services and solutions that significantly advance the renewable energy sector.
“By targeting project-level indemnification and doing away with cash collateral, we aim to enhance the usability and adaptability of surety bonds within the industry,” stated TJ Valet, Senior Vice President of Origin Surety.
