Tax Underwriter, Renewable Energy

About kWh Analytics

kWh Analytics is insuring the energy transition. We underwrite property insurance and revenue firming products for renewable energy assets. Our proprietary database of 300,000+ zero-carbon projects and $150B in loss data supports advanced modeling, insights, and precise risk assessment for renewable energy, mixed energy, and low-carbon projects.

In March 2026, Beazley, a leading specialty insurer, agreed to acquire kWh Analytics. Beazley believes that the global energy transition is a significant strategic growth opportunity and is focused on underwriting the complex risks that will enable the transition. kWh Analytics will add scalability and enhance Beazley’s capabilities in modelling, underwriting and risk management across renewable energy portfolios.

This is a rare opportunity to join a well-resourced, purpose-built team at launch, with the speed, focus, and mission-driven culture of an energy transition insurance platform with the institutional backing from Beazley.

You will have access to kWh Analytics' proprietary renewable energy data platform and AI-enabled underwriting tools and also benefit from collaborating with a team of renewable energy finance veterans with deep expertise in the risks you'll be underwriting.

This role is responsible for the structuring, underwriting, and negotiation of tax credit insurance solutions covering renewable energy investment tax credits.
