UCEEB Joins EU-Wide Cyber Risk Assessment for the Energy Sector

News, 23. 6. 2026

Experts from the UCEEB of the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU) have joined a coordinated EU-wide risk assessment focused on power systems, solar and wind energy installations, energy storage systems, and their supply chains (Energy Supply Systems and Energy Storage – ESSES).

The initiative is being carried out as part of the implementation of the NIS 2 Directive under the auspices of the NIS Cooperation Group, which brings together representatives of EU Member States, the European Commission, and the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA). Its objective is to identify and assess cyber risks and threat scenarios affecting critical energy infrastructure and to propose measures that will strengthen its resilience.

In addition to public institutions, the process also involves experts from the private sector, academia, and civil society. UCEEB contributes its expertise in energy systems, digitalisation, and cybersecurity. The experts’ input will support the development of a pan-European risk assessment aimed at enabling the secure deployment of modern energy technologies and enhancing the protection of critical infrastructure across the European Union.
