Ebook | Navigating changing supply chain dynamics: the challenges and opportunities facing utilities

How Wood Mackenzie helps utilities make better decisions in the ever-changing power and renewables landscape

1 minute read

Despite significant short-term headwinds, the long-term outlook for renewables is extremely strong. As the energy transition gathers pace, it is driving increasing demand for electricity in general, and for renewable power in particular. 

The fundamentals exist for sustained growth, with various factors increasing demand for equipment, services and raw materials, from solar panels and transformers to steel, polysilicon, copper, aluminium and rare earth metals – as well as for the skilled workforce to build and maintain projects.  

At the same time, geopolitics and the need for energy security are driving an increased focus on domestic manufacturing. Domestic producers in many countries are starting to respond by building new plants to increase production, but lead times for new facilities to come online are measured in years rather than months. 

To navigate the market effectively and ensure projects will be economically viable over their lifespan, developers need to understand the complex interplay of short and long-term dynamics.

In our latest ebook, ‘Navigating changing supply chain dynamics: the challenges and opportunities facing utilities’, we explore both the challenges and opportunities facing utilities across the solar, offshore wind and onshore wind industries, and the insights you need to address them.
