Abstract
Energy procurement is a lever in shaping the resilience and competitiveness of the U.S. energy sector. Global supply chain disruptions, heightened geopolitical tensions, and the accelerating transition toward decarbonization have emphasized the vulnerability of traditional procurement models dependent on offshore suppliers. This article examines the structural redesign of procurement practices across utilities, oil majors, and renewable energy firms, highlighting how localized sourcing, strategic partnerships, and technology integration are redefining operational performance. Case studies reveal measurable outcomes including reductions in lead times, cost efficiencies, and new job creation that describes procurement’s dual role as both a risk management mechanism and a catalyst for economic revitalization. The analysis further explores the broader policy and market implications, while emphasizing the need for government incentives, public–private collaboration, and alignment with national energy independence and decarbonization goals. Lastly, the study outlines future research pathways, particularly in the application of artificial intelligence for procurement optimization and blockchain technologies for supply chain traceability. Framing procurement as a strategic tool elevates supply chain reform to a foundational role in shaping a resilient, sustainable, and inclusive U.S. energy economy.
