DeterTech & Gallagher Taking Sites from Secured to Insured
DeterTech, the leading provider of risk mitigation solutions for construction and critical infrastructure, and Gallagher, one of the world’s largest insurance brokers, have announced a strategic partnership. The collaboration seeks to prevent crime at renewable energy sites, reduce repeat targeting and improve access to effective insurance cover, helping site owners better protect renewable energy assets.
The Escalating Crisis in Renewables
Cable theft, and the associated targeting of infrastructure sites, have risen sharply in recent years, driven by soaring commodity prices and increased organised criminal activity. Repeat victimisation also remains stubbornly high, resulting in escalating losses, significant disruption and unplanned involuntary loss of operational capability.
Escalating Financial Losses:
Replacing stolen assets and repairing damage can cost operators thousands and loss of revenue.
Significant Disruption:
Theft causes unplanned involuntary loss of generating capability, impacting the reliability of the network.
Operational Downtime:
Sites can be left out of service for extended periods while repairs are completed.
With a 59% year-on-year increase in reported attacks, and enough cable stolen in the UK alone to stretch from Land’s End to John O’Groats and back, operators are facing a dual crisis of physical security and difficulty obtaining insurance after an incident. This is the challenge DeterTech and Gallagher have joined forces to solve.
A Guaranteed Path to Protection
Under the partnership, site owners who commission a DeterTech security risk assessment and implement its recommendations – alongside meeting all other standard underwriting criteria – can expect these measures to be considered by insurers when assessing risk and setting premiums for insurance arranged through Gallagher.
Where sites subsequently experience no further incidents or claims, Gallagher will proactively engage with insurers to demonstrate the strength of the risk profile and seek improved terms, such as low‑claims rebates where applicable.

“DeterTech and Gallagher have a shared mission to bring greater peace of mind to people and communities, every day, so it made sense to join forces. As the UK expands its infrastructure at an unprecedented pace, criminals are becoming more sophisticated, more organised, and more relentless. Once targeted, sites face a very high likelihood of repeat victimisation. Our mission is to help operators break that cycle, protect their infrastructure, and give them confidence to build for the future.”
