Peer-to-Peer Basis Risk Management for Renewable Production Parametric Insurance

The financial viability of renewable energy projects is challenged by the variability and unpredictability of production due to weather fluctuations. This paper proposes a novel risk management framework combining parametric insurance and peer-to-peer (P2P) risk sharing to address production uncertainty in solar electricity generation. We first design a weather-based parametric insurance scheme to protect against forecast errors, recalibrated at the site level to mitigate geographical basis risk...
