During the SolarPower Summit 2025, the Commissioner for Energy announced that the Commission would soon begin an assessment of critical elements in the EU solar value chain, in particular regarding cybersecurity risks.

This announcement comes amidst rising concerns over the resilience of energy infrastructure, especially the vulnerability to cyberattacks of solar inverters – devices that convert the direct current produced by solar panels to alternating current.

Precise information has yet to be given on the assessment’s scope, content and timeline.

• 1.Can the Commission provide more details on the planned assessment?
• 2.Is it considering legislative initiatives following this assessment to improve cybersecurity in the EU’s photovoltaic sector?
• 3.Has it taken any specific measures in response to previous cyberattacks on solar infrastructures in the EU?
