Researchers have developed a federated learning framework to design parametric insurance indices for renewable energy production losses. This approach allows producers to model their losses locally using private data and Tweedie generalized linear models, while a global index is learned through federated optimization without sharing raw observations. The framework accommodates variations in variance and link functions, and theoretical guarantees are provided for sub-exponential covariate distributions. Experiments with solar farms in Germany demonstrated that federated learning methods like FedAvg, FedProx, and FedOpt are significantly faster and more computationally viable than traditional approximation-based aggregation methods, especially for larger producer pools.
