FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OLDWICK - APRIL 13, 2026 09:24 AM (EDT)
In its April Issue, Best's Review examines how insurers are expanding capacity and offering a range of coverage in response to the sharp, AI-driven increase in the construction of data centers.
"This is an industrial-revolution-type change and challenge as well as opportunity in the marketplace," said Patrick McBride, head of construction property at Zurich North America. "I don't believe that we will see this sort of spend size and frequency in this type of profile again in most of our careers."
The article also examines the risks associated with the massive power and water requirements of data centers. Read "Data Center Boom Opens Opportunities for Insurers."
