US EditionPolish army to help power grid protect key infrastructure
The Polish army and PSE will share information, conduct joint drills, and acquire anti-drone equipment to protect over 16,000 km of power lines amid increased sabotage threats.
- On Dec 3 in Warsaw, the Polish army signed an agreement to help PSE protect critical transformer stations by sharing information and conducting joint training exercises.
- Since 2022, a wave of sabotage and arson has hit NATO-member Poland, culminating in drone incursions in September and a railway explosion last month, which Warsaw calls Russian `state terrorism`.
- The deal envisages military help to procure anti-drone systems as PSE faces the challenge of protecting more than 16,000 kilometers of high-voltage lines and 110 transformer stations.
- Coordinating permits for wind farms will ensure no clashes with low-flying military aircraft, while PSE and Baltic peers seek European Union funds to protect vulnerable facilities.
- Given Poland's role linking the Baltic system with Europe, Grzegorz Onichimowski, chief executive of PSE, said this infrastructure requires particular attention, shaping future energy and defence planning.
