Abstract

The current study focused on the aspect of risk management in the electricity distribution sector of the UAE. More particularly, the focus was on one of the key electricity distributors, the Abu Dhabi National Energy Company, PJSC (TAQA), which operates in the UAE and other countries across the globe. The overarching aim of this study was to investigate the optimization of risk management in the UAE electricity distribution sector using TAQA as the case study. The specific objectives were to evaluate the relationship between risk management methods, enterprise risk management (ERM), risk culture, and risk optimization recommendations with risk performance at the organization. The quantitative research methodology was used in this study. Using the quantitative methodology, data was collected from 390 participants from TAQA. Surveys were used for the collection of data and SPSS was used to conduct regression analyses to establish relationships between variables. Based on the regression analyses, all hypotheses were supported. One of the notable findings of the study indicated that risk management methods significantly impact risk performance. Better risk management methods lead to more efficient risk management approaches. More so, the implementation of ERM leads to better risk performance in the organization. It was also found that the presence of a risk culture leads to better risk performance. Lastly, it was found that elements such as ERM need to be put in place to enhance risk optimization in the organization. All study objectives were achieved. It is fundamental that risk management is prioritized in the electricity distribution system of the UAE. Through the example of TAQA, the entire industry stands the chance to do better in the future.
