Power and utilities supply chains: Secure, modernize, scale
Learn how power and utilities leaders are modernizing supply chains to secure capacity, manage risk, and deliver capital projects.
Power and utilities supply chains face mounting pressure from expanding capital programs, rising demand, supplier constraints, tariff uncertainty, and workforce shortages. Traditional reactive models are no longer sufficient to support infrastructure growth.
Leaders are responding by transforming their operating models and strengthening risk and resilience capabilities. They are investing in digital technologies and AI while improving workforce productivity. The goal is to create supply chains that can anticipate demand earlier, secure critical equipment faster, and support reliable capital delivery at scale.
Here are the five strategic priorities shaping the industry's supply chain agenda:
- Secure critical supply earlier: Improve visibility into future demand and strengthen supplier, sourcing, and contracting strategies to secure critical equipment and manufacturing capacity before constraints affect projects.
- Build risk-informed decision-making: Connect supplier, cybersecurity, operational, regulatory, and project risks to planning, procurement, and capital delivery decisions.
- Transform the operating model: Align planning, sourcing, contracting, inventory, asset management, and supplier performance around more consistent execution.
- Scale digital, AI, and automation: Turn digital foundations into practical tools that improve visibility, decision-making, and supply chain responsiveness.
- Boost workforce productivity: Use AI, automation, and capability-building initiatives to help constrained teams manage increasingly complex capital programs.
