Lithuania adopts law to restrict Chinese access to renewable energy systems
The move is part of Lithuania's broader strategy to enhance national security and protect critical infrastructure from potential cyber threats. The new law requires operators of affected renewable energy installations to implement additional cybersecurity measures to protect against unauthorised remote control. While the use of Chinese-made equipment is not banned outright, the legislation requires stringent protections to ensure the integrity and reliability of the country's energy systems. This initiative reflects Lithuania's commitment to securing its energy infrastructure and is in line with its National Security Strategy, which identifies certain foreign companies as potential risks. By enforcing these measures, Lithuania aims to strengthen the resilience of its renewable energy sector against external threats.
