Making the connection: Meeting the electric T&D supply chain challenge

The electric transmission and distribution (T&D) industry is facing unprecedented pressure. Expanding demand, aging infrastructure, and supply chain disruptions—exacerbated by the pandemic—have created significant bottlenecks. Critical electrical equipment is in short supply, resulting in longer lead times, increased costs and delayed projects.

Wood Mackenzie’s latest study, Making the connection: meeting the electric T&D supply chain challenge, dives deep into these issues, examining the underlying drivers of demand, supply constraints, and future trends.

Key areas covered include:

• Demand drivers: What’s fueling the growing need for critical electrical equipment, and where is demand heading?
• Pricing trends: How have rising demand and supply shortages impacted equipment prices and renewable energy costs? What does the future hold?
• Lead times: What’s causing extended project delays, and when can we expect improvement?
• Clean energy impact: How will these challenges affect clean energy targets?
• Supply chain solutions: How is the industry adapting, and what actions can be taken to mitigate disruptions?
