Aon has increased the capacity of its Data Center Lifecycle Insurance Program (DCLP) by $1 billion, raising the total program capacity to $3.5 billion and extending coverage to data centers that have moved beyond their first year of operations.
The DCLP was launched in June 2025 and was expanded in January 2026 to a capacity of $2.5 billion. The latest expansion adds coverage for construction all‑risks, design‑build‑operate (DSU), operational property, cyber risk up to $400 million, third‑party liability up to $200 million, and project cargo up to $500 million, thereby providing a full‑cycle solution for data‑center owners and operators.
The expansion comes as the global buildout of cloud, artificial‑intelligence, and hyperscale data centers accelerates, creating a sizable market for specialized insurance that covers the entire lifecycle of these critical assets. Aon’s first‑mover advantage in this niche is reinforced by the program’s comprehensive risk coverage and its integration with the company’s ABS platform and data‑driven analytics.
Joe Peiser, chief executive of Aon’s Risk Capital division, said, “As these assets grow in size, complexity, and importance, resilience must be built from the start. By expanding our Data Center Lifecycle Insurance Program and extending coverage to operating data centers, Aon is helping clients anticipate risk, protect critical assets, and invest in digital infrastructure with greater confidence.”
The expanded DCLP is expected to generate new premium volume and deepen client relationships, supporting Aon’s broader strategy of delivering high‑margin, scalable solutions across its risk‑capital and human‑capital segments. The move aligns with the company’s strong financial performance, including a Q4 2025 earnings beat and a robust outlook for 2026, underscoring confidence in its ability to capitalize on the growing digital‑infrastructure insurance market.
