Aon has expanded its data center lifecycle insurance program to $5 billion in capacity as AI-driven infrastructure demand outpaces available coverage. Global data center insurance premiums are projected to nearly double by 2030 to $24.2 billion, driven by hyperscaler capital spend exceeding $600 billion annually, with lenders now requiring full replacement value coverage as a financing condition.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're building or financing large AI data centers, you now have a path to full-value insurance coverage - but it's only available through Aon's program, and lenders are making it mandatory. The market still can't cover the largest projects; that gap is your risk.
