Critical30-day compound failure · Severe system stress · 14 unknown inputs
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.

Assumptions
- All electricity system capacities, demand, imports and interruption episodes are synthetic illustrative assumptions, not public operator data.
- 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.
