In a world with increasing geopolitical and other tensions and a rising demand for and dependence on electricity for all sorts of human activity the security of supply of power becomes more and more important. This session will focus on the physical and cyber threats to infrastructure related to power production, transmission, storage, risk of damage by sabotage, cyberattacks, military action etc.

We will explore the exposure to these risks and how they are related to the overall resilience and total defence of our economies and societies, the related legal regimes at national and international level and how the risks can be managed in connection with the planning of energy policy and investment, construction and operation and management of these assets and systems, as well as the ability take legal action and enforce legal rights in the event of damage or interruption.
