The situation
Your starting point
The sixth generation inherits a century of utility decisions. This term runs from 1982 through 2001, with a regional import constraint near its end.
You need a cash buffer during the energy crisis as well as enough supply to serve customers. A strategy that works in ordinary trading conditions may leave too little flexibility when the region is short of power.
The choices
What will you do?
-
Know your reliance on imports
Check the contribution of northern supply during the hours that matter. Prepare for the published constraint before it takes effect.
-
Keep money available
Plan for the cash-reserve checkpoint as you choose projects. Useful equipment cannot substitute for money needed to cover operating costs.
-
Balance reserve with customer bills
Compare local backup, connections and spending against affordability and debt limits. The company has to survive the crisis and the next handover.
Put your plan to the test
Bring your inherited company through a term when access to power can no longer be taken for granted.
Open the campaign setup to begin, or continue your existing company. Later generations inherit the choices you made before them.
