Arbol launches insurance against data center moratorium risk

Insurer Arbol has introduced a first-of-its-kind policy that pays out when a government action halts data center construction. The cover, previously considered uninsurable, takes effect after a defined waiting period following the moratorium.

• Nearly 500 data center moratoriums proposed in the US since January, 340 authorized
• Policy covers losses from construction suspension ordered by authorities
• New York became the first US state to impose a moratorium on large data centers
• 80% of US gubernatorial candidates have taken a stance on data centers
