Alpiq boss worries about cybersecurity of power companies

“If a system is already operating at its limit, it is an excellent target for attackers,” he said in an interview with the Friday edition of Tamedia newspapers.

Firms operating within limits could have been avoided. The Federal Council reacted very quickly for the 48-year-old. “Years ago” the federal government should have submitted a plan to expand electricity generation and set out how many kilowatt-hours should be added each year. “We must ask ourselves why such reports are produced if the results are not taken seriously.” Electric companies are accused of painting it black.

An electricity agreement with the European Union (EU) is needed to prevent future power outages. The worst-case scenario is lack of cooperation with the EU. “If that happens, the electricity shortage in Switzerland will be a reality from 2026,” he said.

But there is one good thing about the crisis: Switzerland is becoming more resilient as a country and decarbonisation will accelerate in the long run.
