Denmark may have to spend more money on protecting critical energy infrastructure against hybrid attacks and sabotage. This is according to Energy Minister Lars Aagaard. According to the minister, the need for increased protection has become clearer as the threat from, among others, Russia has grown. The Danish Defence Intelligence Service has also assessed that attacks on critical infrastructure could have far-reaching consequences for the electricity supply. This is reported in Finans.
- It is an unpleasant thing that I think we are being forced to spend more money on in Denmark. We need to secure our critical infrastructure against hybrid attacks and sabotage, says Lars Aagaard (M), who is Minister of Climate, Energy and Utilities.
Lars Aagaard therefore wants changed economic regulation so that energy companies can more easily finance physical protection such as fences, gates, surveillance and larger stocks of spare parts. At the same time, he has worked on a bill that will make it possible to keep selected power plants in operation as a reserve.
