Energy supply covers the delivery of electricity, gas and fuels through grids, terminals and storage to industrial and private consumers. It matters to freight forwarding and logistics in two directions: it drives the operating cost of a company's own fleet and facilities through diesel, power and gas prices, and it governs customers' transport volumes, because energy-intensive sectors such as chemicals, steel, glass and paper throttle production when supply is tight or prices spike. Disruptions at individual nodes — a strike at an import terminal, a pipeline outage, low water on the inland waterways — therefore feed through to cargo volumes and freight rates with a delay, even when no means of transport is directly affected.
