Power Reliability and Resilience: A Supply Chain Imperative

Reliable electricity has become a mission-critical concern for global supply chains. Recent disruptions have exposed how deeply businesses depend on continuous power, sparking warnings that a power reliability crisis could trigger the next major supply chain crisis. In a worldwide survey, nearly 90% of executives reported experiencing energy-related disruptions over the past year, and 83% believe that inadequate power reliability will drive the next big supply chain shock. Such disruptions – from grid outages to energy price spikes – pose a growing supply chain risk, threatening to halt production lines, scramble logistics, and undermine commitments to customers.
