The Company

testimonials

In 2002, a group of leading energy distribution companies and insurance professionals came together and determined there had to be a better way to purchase traditional property and casualty insurance for their companies. The experience of having insurance companies easily enter and exit the market, having insurance premiums fluctuate based on availability and affordability, lacking the ability to buy excess coverage over the years, having insurance companies underwrite energy companies that did not implement best practices, and having insurance companies not provide meaningful loss control services and aggressive claims management caused much disruption in the market.

Over the next three years, the group brought in actuarial and reinsurance consultants to complete extensive business research. The group developed a business plan that would take a course similar to two other worldwide insurance companies. The plan was to initially start as a group captive, evolve to an industrial reinsurance company and then evolve to become an insurance company. In 2005 Energi was incorporated and in 2006 the company commenced operations as a group captive until 2008. In 2009 Energi merged with Conifer Insurance Agency, Inc. D/B/Conifer Energy and became an industrial reinsurance company. As an industrial reinsurance company the company acted as a program administrator and reinsurer. The program administration company provided underwriting, distribution management, loss prevention and claims oversight. Insurance company partners would act as the insurance company and these insurance companies would cede a portion of the business to Energi’s reinsurance operations. From 2008 to 2010 the company expanded its shareholder base which now includes 70 Northeast Energy Distribution Companies (policyholders) and a leading worldwide reinsurance company. Energi’s products are exclusively distributed through a network of independent insurance agents.

Our Business

We are a leading provider of specialized insurance programs to targeted sectors of the energy industry in the United States and Canada. Our core insurance programs provide traditional property and casualty insurance coverage and related risk management services to companies operating in certain sectors of the energy industry. Our specialized insurance risk management expertise in the energy sector enables us to provide differentiated safety and loss prevention solutions and claims management services. We believe our suite of risk management solutions reduces the long-term loss costs for our clients and enhances their productivity over the long term. We launched a new business segment (Alternative Energy Solutions or “AES”) in 2010, which provides innovative warranty coverage’s for alternative energy products and installations. Our AES business segment is in early stages of development and does not currently represent a material contribution to the overall profitability of the Company.

Our business model has two primary components:
  • We generate fee income for services we provide for our third-party insurance partners as an administrator of various insurance programs. These services include product development, marketing and sales, risk selection, initial underwriting, safety and loss prevention, and claims management; and
  • We generate underwriting income and investment income by providing reinsurance on a portion of the casualty business placed through our core insurance programs.
