Briefings

A new report by commercial property insurer FM highlights that current systems for designing, operating, managing, and insuring energy infrastructure are failing to match the rapid expansion of power capacity. The report specifically examines how this expansion is driven by artificial intelligence, data centers, and other emerging technologies. The findings indicate a significant gap between existing risk management capabilities and the growing complexity of modern power systems.

Key points

• Commercial property insurer FM released a report titled 'With Power and Renewables Risks Evolving, Engineering Must Move Upstream' on October 5, 2026.
• The report identifies a critical mismatch where energy infrastructure systems cannot keep pace with the rapid buildout of new power capacity driven by AI and data centers.

Context and limitations

The report covers only power infrastructure expansion driven by AI and data centers. It does not provide specific data on the number of new power facilities built, the specific failure rates of insurance systems, or the impact of these risks on specific regions or industries.
