Reliability First: Utilities Must Address Supply Chain Issues
Oct. 25, 2022
Read this eBook to learn more about how utilities are experiencing and addressing supply chain disruption.
As we move past the pandemic, many lingering effects are still felt, particularly in the power delivery industry. Supply chain challenges can threaten electric reliability in a time when power is more critical than ever. Labor shortage, shipping costs and volatile commodity pricing are all factors that can influence whether a project can be completed on time and on budget. This can result in extended lead times, price and rate increases and inconsistent delivery of raw and finished goods. Utilities must get ahead of the problem.
In this eBook you will learn:
Steps for dealing with supply chain obstacles so mission-critical projects can be accomplished
What challenges CenterPoint Energy faced and how the utility handled load growth in a rapidly growing area northeast of Houston.
How WEC Energy Group’s Juneautown substation project improved switching options, provided capacity for load growth and mitigated risk associated with electric distribution river crossings.
