| Description | The European energy sector faces a rising vulnerability to cyberattacks, posing a significant threat to modern societies due to its interconnected nature with critical infrastructure. This fragility could result in substantial physical and economic harm and be exploited for geopolitical purposes, as it is possible to see with the war in Ukraine. While digitalization enhances efficiency, it also exposes vulnerabilities. Recognizing the urgency of protecting critical energy infrastructure, a new European legislative framework is being established. This contribution focuses on examining the new regulatory framework and identifying persisting challenges for development of smart grids for electricity. |
