FM Increases Data Center Funding Limits to $5 Billion

Commercial property insurer FM has announced a significant increase in its capacity to support its global FM Intellium clients, particularly within the data and power generation ecosystem. This move underscores FM’s commitment to addressing the evolving needs of the data-center industry.

With this enhancement, FM can now provide up to $5 billion in capacity, marking it as the largest limit available for data centers in the market today. This substantial increase is a response to the growing demand for data center services, driven by advancements in technology and the increasing reliance on digital infrastructure.

Based in Johnston, Rhode Island, FM launched the FM Intellium program last year. This initiative aims to help businesses capitalize on opportunities while mitigating the risks associated with rapid technological advancements, including artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and the power generation needs that accompany these innovations. In October, Christopher Dempsey was appointed to lead this crucial unit, bringing a wealth of experience to the role.

FM has a long-standing history in the data center sector, having insured data centers for over 25 years. Currently, the company protects approximately 1,100 data centers, which collectively represent an impressive $250 billion of insurable value. This extensive portfolio highlights FM’s expertise and commitment to safeguarding the digital infrastructure that underpins modern business operations.

“Through our unique engineering- and research-led approach to protecting our clients—combined with our innovative solutions and substantial capacity—FM is again leading the way by supporting the data center industry as it grows,” stated Malcolm Roberts, chairman and chief executive officer of FM. “We believe demand for digital infrastructure will only increase as AI and cloud computing continue to grow, and insurers must keep pace to ensure this critical industry remains resilient and operational for the communities and businesses it serves.”

This strategic move by FM not only reinforces its position as a leader in the commercial property insurance sector but also reflects a broader trend in the industry. As digital transformation accelerates, the need for robust insurance solutions tailored to the unique challenges of data centers becomes increasingly vital. FM’s proactive approach ensures that it remains at the forefront of this evolving landscape, ready to meet the demands of its clients and the industries they serve.
