Risks in Electricity Distribution procurement

Electricity Distribution procurement managers also need to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks that can arise in the supply chain or contracts for Electricity Distribution procurement. Some examples include:


  • When requirements of the buyers are not absolutely clear or usage patterns are not stable or predictable, suppliers often build in \"cost buffers\" for unforeseen risks due to a lack of complete understanding on buyer's requirements. This increases the risk of overspending on Electricity Distribution
  • Suppliers may face a situation where they are unable to honor a contract in its entirety due to shortage of resources, finances or capabilities. While contractual terms safeguard buyers from the non-performance, their operations could still face massive disruptions due to suppliers' non-performance
  • The industry is governed by stringent regulations, which include occupational hazard laws. Suppliers are required to provide strict guidelines to their workers and any negligence on their part can result in damages to facilities and cause injury or illness to workers. Also, suppliers in question will have to face legal proceedings initiated by relevant authorities
