Assessment findings

  • The scenario reduces indicative available resources to 6,290 MW against 6,800 MW illustrative demand — severe indicative system stress.
  • An illustrative 12-hour interruption episode would exceed the 2-hour backup endurance by 10 hours, exposing refrigeration and cold storage.
  • Highest potential business impact: refrigeration and cold storage (critical exposure). Illustrative business interruption band E — Severe.

  • This is a site-specific screening assessment, not a forecast or coverage determination.
  • Unknown production flexibility is screened as Medium.
  • Unconfirmed critical suppliers is screened as High pending client investigation.
  • Financial loss figures are not required; exposure bands are illustrative and are not monetary loss estimates.
