Aon expands its data centre lifecycle insurance programme to US$5 billion in capacity as AI-driven infrastructure demand outpaces available coverage. Global data centre insurance premiums are projected to nearly double to US$24.2 billion by 2030, with lenders now requiring full replacement value cover as a condition of financing.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're building a data centre larger than US$5 billion in capital spend, you can now get the full-value insurance lenders require—but the market is still undersized for the next wave. You have a 12-18 month window before this capacity fills; move financing conversations forward now or lock cover early.
