Representatives from the energy sector, government officials, and cybersecurity experts gathered in Cluj-Napoca for the Cybersecurity Forum in Energy. Discussions focused on protecting energy infrastructure from cyberattacks. Mihaela Suciu emphasized the need for collaboration among authorities, energy operators, and tech companies to secure distribution networks. Authorities have established a coordination mechanism for restoring electricity supply after cyber incidents, prioritizing critical infrastructure. However, rising cybersecurity costs raise concerns about potential tariff increases for consumers. Industry representatives argue that part of these costs should be recoverable through distribution tariffs, while acknowledging the volatility of a liberalized energy market.
