Meta and BlackRock's $14B El Paso data center reportedly lacks total loss insurance, exposing lenders to credit risk
↗
The $14B El Paso data center project from Meta and BlackRock reportedly carries no insurance against total loss, leaving lenders exposed to significant credit risks and potential liabilities.
This reveals a structural insurance gap in gigawatt-scale data center construction that could reshape how these projects are financed and designed. For teams operating infrastructure at this scale, underinsurance means a catastrophic event could result in total asset loss with no recovery path, forcing risk mitigation strategies to shift from insurance to direct engineering and operational controls.
