Onshore Energy Conference London 2025

We are proud to be a supporting sponsor and participant in this year’s Onshore Energy Conference London 2025.

Energy in 2025 — The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

The tectonic plates that underpin global energy have moved significantly during 2025 causing tremors and earthquakes.  The movements can be good, bad or even ugly but how do they impact energy insurance?  OEC London 2025 will provide relevant, topical and dynamic sessions, to educate and enable you to deliver solutions in this fascinating and turbulent market.

Our participation

John Colquhoun, Director, Forensic and Accident Investigations, will deliver a TED-style lunchtime talk, titled The Spaghetti Western of Wind Turbine Policy Wording. This session will look at the real-world impact of lightning strikes and discuss the importance of wind turbine failure modes and insurance policy wording.

Date and Time:  Tuesday, 4 November  |  13:25 – 13.45

Speakers

John Colquhoun, Eur Ing, CEng, BEng (Hons), MIET, AIFireE, MIAAI
