Abstract
The smooth running of the electric energy system is crucial, especially given the current geopolitical environment. To achieve this goal, it is essential to establish a solid infrastructure that is both accessible and safe. We protect consumer reputation and trust, reduce financial losses, and lessen unfavourable effects on employees and business owners by maintaining continuous functioning. This study has discovered several important concerns using the Method Organised Systematic Analysis of Risk (MOSAR). These include the possibility of cyberattacks, the availability of information and technology systems, the loss of critical individuals, and network problems. To address these risks, it is necessary to deliver electrical energy on time and at a high standard, to be responsive to client requests, and to follow best practices, technical standards, and personal and environmental protection measures. The findings of this study make valuable contributions to risk assessment efforts, allowing us to identify potential threats to the security and reliability of national power systems. Overall, it is essential to maintain a robust and resilient energy infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted operation and mitigate risks effectively.
