Making the connection: meeting the electric T&D supply chain challenge
Expanding demand and supply chain disruptions have pushed critical electrical equipment into shortage, driving up prices and lengthening lead times. These challenges are delaying projects across the electric transmission and distribution industry, with no immediate relief in sight.Our new multi-client study, Making the connection: meeting the electric T&D supply chain challenge, explores these issues, examining the underlying drivers of demand, supply constraints and future trends.Take a deep dive into the supply chain challenge In this complimentary, one-hour webinar, Wood Mackenzie experts and external guests will provide an overview of what is driving demand for transformers, switchgear, cables and other electrical T&D equipment – and the factors behind the longer delivery lead times causing project delays.Speakers will also share their views on the impact of these bottlenecks on renewable deployment, large loads – such as data centers and manufacturing – and the cost to consumers. To wrap up, the Wood Mackenzie team will share insight into our fascinating new multiclient study.Speakers: Xizhou Zhou - Executive Vice President, Head of Power and Renewables, Wood Mackenzie; Devin Thomas - Vice President, Supply Chain Data & Analytics, Wood Mackenzie; Justin Badlam - Senior Advisor, US Department of Energy’s Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC); Teddy Muhlfelder - Vice President of Renewables Americas, Equinor.
