CRISAM® Hosts the European Energy Risk Roundtable 2025

Participants 2025

Vienna, September 2025 – CRISAM® had the pleasure of welcoming leading experts and senior risk managers from across Europe to the European Energy Risk Roundtable 2025. Transmission System Operators (TSOs) and DSOs play a key role in the energy transition, and this event provided a forum to share experiences, exchange perspectives and discuss how to master the growing complexity of risks in the sector.

Enterprise and Strategic Risk Management

The dialogue went far beyond the project level. At the enterprise level, TSOs are dealing with uncertainties driven by European regulation, the EU Green Deal and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. Geopolitical instability, rapid technological developments in hydrogen, storage and digitalization, and the physical impacts of climate change were also identified as major drivers of uncertainty.

Participants highlighted the financial side of risk management, with inflation, volatile interest rates and changing cost-of-capital rules creating new challenges for long-term planning. At the same time, expectations from regulators, investors and society around ESG and sustainability are reshaping corporate risk cultures.

New Approaches at the Enterprise Level

To respond effectively, many TSOs are already experimenting with advanced tools. AI-based agents, dynamic dashboards and predictive analytics offer early-warning capabilities. Scenario planning and stress testing are being linked directly to financial resilience, while ESG materiality assessments and crisis playbooks are becoming part of everyday practice. Importantly, risk culture itself is being embedded more deeply into governance, with independent challenge committees, risk-linked incentives and training programs for managers.

Project Risk Management: Complexity on the Rise

A central theme of the discussions was the increasing scale and complexity of infrastructure projects. Participants spoke about the difficulties of managing qualitative risks, justifying decisions, and integrating project-level risks into enterprise risk frameworks. Shortages of skilled staff, heterogeneous data sources and the simultaneous rollout of a large number of mega-projects were also identified as pressing issues.

Further challenges included lengthy permitting processes, community acceptance, supply chain volatility and contractor capacity bottlenecks. Cross-border projects brought additional regulatory uncertainty, while digitalization and cybersecurity obligations such as NIS2 created new risk dimensions. Environmental constraints and climate adaptation added another layer of uncertainty that TSOs must navigate.

Strategies and Tools for Project Risks

Despite the challenges, the roundtable showcased innovative solutions. Standardized risk registers, quantitative analysis methods such as Monte Carlo simulations, and risk-based governance models are already being put into practice. Participants shared examples of early contractor involvement, digital dashboards integrating BIM and GIS data, and structured stakeholder engagement to address social acceptance.

Another key recommendation was to embed cybersecurity and resilience from the very start of planning, while peer reviews and cross-border collaboration were seen as vital to strengthening risk awareness and learning across organizations.

A Shared Commitment to Resilience

The European Energy Risk Roundtable 2025 showed that risk management is moving to the center of strategic decision-making. As one participant summed it up: “Risk management is no longer a support function—it is central to securing the energy transition. Collaboration across borders and disciplines is key to managing uncertainty while enabling innovation.”

CRISAM® is proud to have hosted this exchange and to contribute to building a stronger, more resilient European energy system. The insights gained will continue to inform the development of risk management practices across the industry.
