Norway to require grid operators to prepare for multiple sabotage incidents

Norwegian energy regulator Norges vassdrags- og energidirektorat (NVE) has launched a public consultation on a revision of the kraftberedskapsforskriften regulation, which would require grid operators to factor in a new risk scenario: coordinated attacks affecting at least two installations at the same time. The stated objective is to ensure service continuity in the event of physical or cyber sabotage, with strengthened requirements for rapid repair capabilities, deployable personnel, and critical spare parts stockpiles.
