Cybersecurity of cross-border electricity flows

Digitalisation is necessary for providing essential services in our energy system. Because of this, cybersecurity risk management is crucial to the security of our electricity supply. Cooperation across borders is imperative to prevent and manage electricity crises related to cyber attacks.

The code sets out a common framework of rules and coordinated procedures to ensure effective cooperatation between Member States and authorities responsible for electricity and cybersecurity.

This code has been recently adopted into European legislation. Information on its application in Northern Ireland will follow in due course.
