Enterprise, Capital & Commodity Risk Management for Utilities

CRA’s Risk Management experts help utilities understand and manage the interconnected risks affecting their businesses, from enterprise-level strategic and financial risks to major capital investments and commodity market exposures. We combine deep utility and market expertise with economic modeling, quantitative analytics, and risk-management experience to identify material exposures, quantify their potential impacts, and help management make better risk-informed decisions.

Our work spans enterprise risk management, capital risk, and commodity and portfolio risk. We help utilities establish risk governance and decision frameworks, assess the potential cost and schedule risks associated with major capital programs, and manage exposure to power, gas, fuel, capacity, and other commodity markets. Our approach integrates scenario analysis, stress testing, probabilistic modeling, and market fundamentals to evaluate risks individually and collectively, including how risks can compound across the enterprise.

• Enterprise risk management and governance
• Enterprise risk identification, quantification, and prioritization
