Five Governing Principles for Assessing Energy Policy

These principles are used by Prisms Industrials:

Affordability

    a competitive advantage.

Reliability

Key Risks from Unplanned Interruptions:

  • Safety – Risk of severe injury or death to the operation.
  • Production & Delivery Schedules – Risks breaking promises
    to customers.
  • Waste – Results in scrap from interruptions to the
    production process.

Stability

  • Definition: Price is not subject to unreasonable volatility.

Predictability

  • Definition: We can prepare and adhere to plans.

Sustainability

  • Definition: We can rely upon our supply chain far into the future.

Key Stewardship Responsibilities:

  • We are good stewards of the planet.
