Sorin Elisei from the Ministry of Energy emphasized the need to prioritize infrastructure funding over renewable energy sources in future financing programs. He highlighted that around two billion euros have already been allocated for modernization projects, including digitalization and cybersecurity components. Elisei proposed that future energy funding should require compliance with security standards. He argued that, given the projected energy capacity, redirecting funds to new production sources is unnecessary, advocating instead for prioritizing infrastructure investments. Additionally, he mentioned Romania's regulatory framework for emergency situations, which includes cybersecurity measures and a coordinated response plan. The Cybersecurity in Energy Forum in Cluj Napoca aims to foster dialogue on critical infrastructure security and the integration of digitalization in the energy sector.
