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.
