Andy Cormie, CEO and Board Chaiir of SmartestEnergy US, shares how one hurricane, one geopolitical conflict, or one AI-driven demand spike can send a company’s energy costs from $2M a month… to $12M almost overnight.
That’s not a utility problem anymore.
That’s a REAL leadership problem.
Most companies still think about energy as a line item on a bill.
But according to Andy, energy is rapidly becoming:
a margin issue
a board issue
a risk issue
and potentially a competitive advantage.
One line that hit me hard:
“Boards shouldn’t be giving you a pass…”
Especially as AI, data centers, aging infrastructure, and geopolitical instability continue reshaping global energy demand.
The leaders who win over the next decade may not be the ones who react fastest after disruption.
They may be the ones who planned before it arrived.
What’s an operational risk most companies still underestimate right now?
