As cybersecurity is a global issue, this TEM, proposed by the United States, seeks experts from wind energy producing countries and those involved in the wind energy industry for a meeting to determine the highest priority sector concerns and challenges in October 2025.

While the sector is deploying increasingly large and complex wind energy installations, including the challenges associated with offshore turbines, this is a key time to look at global opportunities to scale cybersecurity protections, mitigations, and best practices for wind energy. Challenges under this topic include incorporating cybersecurity into existing plants and assets, integrating security-by-design into future infrastructure, and understanding cyber-physical consequences of cyber threats as the sector becomes an increasingly valuable target for cyberattacks. The impact cyberattacks can have on global reputations for companies and technologies also make this an international issue. Having inputs on these challenges from experts around the world with different perspectives on wind energy deployments and cybersecurity threats and opportunities is critical to developing and prioritizing innovative solutions.
