Scenario Testing for CBS-1: Electricity Generation and Distribution Operations – Malakoff Corporation

Introduction

In the realm of operational resilience, scenario testing serves as a vital tool for identifying vulnerabilities and assessing the response capabilities of an organisation's most critical services.

For Malakoff Corporation, whose core business revolves around electricity generation and distribution, the ability to simulate and respond to severe but plausible events is essential to ensuring uninterrupted service delivery.

This chapter focuses on systematically identifying and designing scenario tests for each detailed process under the Critical Business Service (CBS) CBF-1: Electricity Generation and Distribution Operations.

These tests enable Malakoff to anticipate disruptions, validate its preparedness, and enhance its response and recovery protocols across both thermal and renewable energy operations.

Purpose of the Chapter

The purpose of this chapter is to equip operational and resilience planners with a structured approach to scenario testing, aligned with best practices from industry standards and guidance from the BCM Institute.

By presenting tailored scenario tests for each Sub-CBS—from grid coordination and fuel supply to SCADA systems and HSE—the chapter aims to foster a deeper understanding of how targeted disruptions can affect specific processes.

Readers will gain insight into how these scenarios can be executed to reveal operational weaknesses, stress internal capabilities, and support data-driven decisions for resilience enhancement. Ultimately, this forms a core part of Malakoff’s overall resilience framework.

This is the Scenario Testing Table for the sub-components (Sub-CBS) of CBF-1: Electricity Generation and Distribution Operations for Malakoff Corporation.

These scenario tests are designed to assess the resilience of each process under severe but plausible disruptions, in line with operational resilience principles and guidance from the BCM Institute.

Summing Up … Embedding Resilience Through Scenario Testing

As Malakoff Corporation continues to navigate the complexities of energy production and grid stability in a changing risk landscape, scenario testing remains a crucial tool for ensuring operational resilience.

By applying scenario tests to each key sub-process of electricity generation and distribution, the organisation can proactively strengthen its crisis response, minimise downtime, and uphold service commitments to stakeholders.

This chapter lays the foundation for building a culture of foresight and readiness, ensuring that Malakoff not only survives disruptions but adapts and thrives in the face of adversity.
