Introduction

The NCCS (Network Code on Cybersecurity), as established by the COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2024/1366, aims to create a unified cybersecurity framework within the European electricity sector, ensuring the security of cross-border electricity flows. This Regulation establishes a network code which lays down sector-specific rules for cybersecurity aspects of cross-border electricity flows, including rules on common minimum requirements, planning, monitoring, reporting and crisis management.

The Network Code on Cybersecurity NCCS was officially adopted on May 24, 2024.

The regulation came into effect immediately upon its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

The objective of this material is to support electricity sector stakeholders in understanding and effectively applying the NCCS cybersecurity regulation.
