Executive Perspectives on Top Risks in 2020: Energy and Utilities Industry Group Results

This report illustrates the top risks energy and utilities organizations should keep in mind throughout 2020, based on the results from Protiviti’s Executive Perspectives on Top Risks Survey.

For the energy and utilities industry group, regulatory changes and scrutiny impacting operations and how products and services are produced and delivered are the top risk issues in 2020, with a risk score nearly identical between 2019 and 2018. In the United States, one of the more significant issues is the threat of anti-fracking measures being passed at the state level, which could have a detrimental effect on long-term operations and revenue for oil and gas companies.
