Cybersecurity in Renewable Energy Plants

Findings & insights from OT monitoring projects

Renewable energies are increasingly becoming the decisive backbone of electricity supply. As a result of this and the digitalization of the energy industry, renewable energy plants (REP) are becoming strongly networked distributed energy resources (DER) with a high degree of automation and remote control. This in turn increases the risk of disruption to the European and national energy supply due to cyber attacks. After all, every single DER represents a vulnerable point of attack.

This eBook outlines the different challenges investors, management and operators face with regard to REPs’ and DERs’ cybersecurity. The document provides a detailed overview of evidence-based cyber risks that exist and, based on this, formulates clear recommendations for ensuring sustainable, efficient cybersecurity measures in renewable energy plants.
