Renewable-energy development in a net-zero world: Disrupted supply chains

Renewables developers face three core supply chain challenges

  1. Securing access to raw materials and rare earth metals at stable prices
  2. Scaling manufacturing capacity to meet regional demand
  3. Building up logistics and installation capacities

How to make sourcing a strategic priority

  1. Getting creative with vertical integration

  2. Partnering with suppliers to boost manufacturing capacity 

  3. Making risk management a common practice

Early development of creative strategic measures is critical. With a focus on vertical integration, strategic diversification, and proactive risk management, renewables developers can prepare for the challenges ahead.
