MS Amlin analysis reveals that 56% of 670 planned US data centre projects, representing nearly $800 billion in investment, are located in states highly exposed to hurricanes, severe convective storms, earthquakes, or winter storms. The research highlights significant aggregation risk for specialty insurers as AI-driven data centre construction accelerates in hazard-prone southern US states. MS Amlin and Lloyd's market participants including Nephila Capital are actively developing underwriting and ILS structures to address this emerging exposure class.

Insurers are flagging that 56% of planned new US data center capacity is sited in high-risk disaster-prone states, with approximately $800 billion in investment potentially exposed to natural catastrophe perils. This signals growing concerns about insurability, capacity constraints, and pricing for data center property and business interruption coverage in hurricane, earthquake, and severe storm zones.

MS Amlin research finds more than half of planned US data center projects, valued at $670 billion, are being developed in states with high exposure to severe convective storms. The finding highlights a growing concentration risk for property and energy underwriters as hyperscale infrastructure expands into storm-prone geographies. This is market intelligence and underwriting analysis, not a loss event.

When assets of this scale cluster in hazard prone regions, the potential loss severity from a single storm event can rise very quickly. This is a growth opportunity for the specialty insurance market, but the risks must be properly managed and understood.
