Do you know how many times the word "insurance" appears in this insightful article (see link below)? Zero.

Precisely what makes this article a must-read for independent power producers. Nearly every paragraph is about:
 • managing risk
 • preserving optionality
 • protecting long-term value

Because buying insurance is relatively easy. Finding someone willing to sell it usually isn’t hard.

Managing risk, however, is far more demanding — and far more interesting.

Not a transaction, but a discipline.

It requires judgment, systems thinking, and a **true sense-making partner**.
