US EditionNordic Energy Crisis: Investigating Foreign Threats
- On Thursday, Swedish broadcaster TV4 reported a serious threat targeting energy infrastructure across Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland, prompting authorities across the Nordic countries to raise preparedness.
- Following cyber attacks on Poland's grid in late December, Polish authorities shared information with Nordic counterparts, prompting steps in Sweden at the end of last week.
- Several authorities and police units across the Nordic region entered a state of alert, while Swedish police were ordered to guard facilities linked to energy supply and monitor the situation in a joint operation led by FRA.
- Despite reassurances from FRA that no specific present threat exists, FRA advised energy operators to review Poland's report and strengthen monitoring and restoration capabilities, while Swedish agencies follow developments and some declined comment.
- Uncertainty about methods and timing persists as the actor behind the warning indicated a deadline before a possible strike, while Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Russian influence stood behind the December incident.
