planned

Europe's offshore wind industry is facing increasing security risks as its role in the region's energy system expands. A new paper by industry body WindEurope highlights that physical protections for wind farms are not keeping pace with their growing strategic importance. The report calls for integrating physical security measures during the design phase of projects and closer cooperation between authorities to protect offshore wind infrastructure from hybrid threats such as sabotage, surveillance, and subsea interference.
