Summary/Abstract: Starting in the late 20th century, we are seeing increased interest in obtaining energy from renewable sources. One of those sources is wind energy and its use. Increased interest in offshore wind farms in Poland is caused by the introduction of numerous restrictions on the construction of terrestrial power plants. The purpose of this article is to assess the operational risk of offshore wind farms from the point of view of their ability to be covered by insurance. The article discusses the principles of their functioning, the accompanying natural hazards as well as the general conditions of their coverage by indicating the subject of insurance, the scope of insurance and the sum insured. General conditions of operation of offshore wind farms were discussed.
