Renewable Energy Risk Intelligence

Independent satellite intelligence for renewable energy risk.

Independent risk indices, forecasts and financial intelligence to measure, price and transfer renewable-energy risk. Starting with hydropower, we enable parametric protection and forward-looking generation and market intelligence for insurers, lenders, traders and operators.

01 — For Insurers
Build parametric hydropower products on an independent index.

Enter a new market or region with a product that works for any basin worldwide, settled on HPPI, an objective daily trigger both parties can verify, with reduced basis risk.

→ HPPI, the hydropower trigger
02 — For Lenders
Assess the water resource behind every financing.

Independent basin data for due diligence and monitoring, helping assess water availability, revenue risk and emerging debt-service pressure.

→ HydroPulse for due diligence
03 — For Hydropower Operators
Protect revenue and plan around the water.

HydroPulse helps anticipate water availability up to 12 months ahead to plan generation, hedging, maintenance and pricing decisions with greater confidence.

→ HydroPulse for operations
01 — The problem

Hydropower revenue and risk moves with the water, yet no one measures it independently.

61%

Of hydropower dams worldwide will sit in river basins at high to extreme risk of drought, floods or both by 2050.

14.3%

Of global electricity comes from hydropower, the largest renewable source. Every megawatt-hour depends on how much water will be available.

67%

Of WMO member countries with data do not make their hydrological data available.

02 — Our two hydropower offerings

One science, two products: the index that triggers cover when water falls short, and the intelligence you plan with.

HPPI
PARAMETRIC INDEX

Our independent daily hydropower risk index, built only from natural signals, with a 60–90 day forward view. Insurers can use HPPI to design, price and settle parametric protection against financial losses from water shortfall.

HydroPulse
Platform

Forward-looking water intelligence for any basin or plant, designed to support generation planning, trading, hedging, lending and risk management up to 12 months ahead.

HydroPulse helps you anticipate the risk. HPPI enables you transfer it.

TRY THE HYDROPOWER INDEX

Pick a sample basin and track    the index, its trend and the forward line change.

Four illustrative basins, 24 months of history, a Today marker and a dashed 60-90 days forward index against an example trigger threshold.

03 — Why an independent index

An index is only usable as a trigger if neither side can move it.

Natural-signal only

Statistically validated, independently observable environmental variables. No human-derived or operator signals. 

Tamper-proof

Derived from third-party observations and a defined methodology, providing a transparent, auditable settlement.

Globally scalable

A repeatable methodology that can be applied across hydropower basins, countries, markets and facilities.

Reduced basis risk

Composite of multiple hydrological and environmental variables, not just a single rainfall gauge.

04 — How it works

No natural signal that moves your revenue or risk goes unobserved.

STEP 01
Observe & collect

Satellite monitored meteorological, terrain and hydrological data over the basin, updated daily.

STEP 02
Fuse & validate

Meterological, storage, climate and hydrological data, fused into one signal reliable than any single source.

STEP 03
today +12 mo
Compose & predict

A daily index against the historical baseline, and water availability predicted up to 12 months ahead.

STEP 04
threshold ALERT
Monitor & act

Continuous monitoring against your thresholds, for early warning, hedging decisions or parametric settlement.

05 — DECISIONS WE SUPPORT

One hydropower risk signal.
Four different financial and operational decisions.

Insurance & Reinsurance

“How do I design and settle an objective hydropower trigger?”

HPPI provides an independent, natural-signal-based index for designing, back-testing, monitoring and settling parametric hydropower products. A tamper-proof trigger both parties can verify. 

Discuss a parametric product →
BANKS & LENDERS

“Could water shortfall put debt service at risk?”

Forward-looking water and generation intelligence up to 12 months to test revenue assumptions at due diligence, and independent basin monitoring to see debt-service pressure building before it reaches the borrower's accounts. 

Hydropower Companies

“How much water will I have, and what if it falls short?”

Inflow forecasts up to 12 months ahead at basin or plant level, supports reservoir planning, maintenance and generation decisions with confidence, with optional parametric protection against severe shortfalls offered through our insurance partners.

ENERGY TRADERS & LARGE ENERGY USERS

“How much hydropower will reach the market next month?”

Forward hydropower availability for day-ahead, week-ahead and forward bidding in hydro-heavy markets, early pricing signals when low water tightens supply, and planning for replacement energy before a shortfall.

06 — How we work

Insurers and reinsurers carry the risk. We provide the intelligence behind it.

Insurance partners provide capacity and issue the policy. SPACE-SHIP provides the independent indices, forecasts and underwriting intelligence used to design, price, monitor and settle parametric products.

Starting with HPPI, our approach is designed to scale across geographies, helping partners launch products and enter new markets.
