We discretize a risk-neutral optimal control problem governed by a linear elliptic partial differential equation with random inputs using a Monte Carlo sample-based approximation and a finite element discretization, yielding finite dimensional control problems. We establish an exponential tail bound for the distance between the finite dimensional problems' solutions and the risk-neutral problem's solution. The tail bound implies that solutions to the risk-neutral optimal control problem can be reliably estimated with the solutions to the finite dimensional control problems. Numerical simulations illustrate our theoretical findings.
