Network Code on Cybersecurity (NCCS)

Principal objectives and contents 

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1366 establishing a network code on sector-specific rules for cybersecurity aspects of cross-border electricity flows (NCCS – Network Code on Cybersecurity) entered into force on 13 June 2024. 

The NCCS aims to establish a harmonised set of requirements for cybersecurity in the European electricity sector, in particular in the context of cross-border electricity flows. It therefore seeks to: 

  • establish a uniform risk-based approach for the identification and assessment of cybersecurity risks, 

  • define minimum and advanced cybersecurity requirements as well as a common cybersecurity framework for affected market participants, 

  • ensure coordinated cooperation, information sharing, and incident response between relevant stakeholders and authorities at national and European level.
