Securing on- and offshore energy infrastructure—conference in Warsaw
On January 15, 2026, during the second edition of Warsaw’s EnergySecurityCongress.pl, discussions will be held and presentations given concerning the security of on- and offshore energy infrastructure. Four thematic sessions are planned, including debates around such topics as legal regulations required for an increased security of critical infrastructure, cooperation between armed forces and uniformed services, preventing physical as well as cyber threats, and the funding of projects aimed at enhancing security.
This year’s conference begins with an energy security summit between Poland and Lithuania, joined by both countries’ Ministers of Energy, Miłosz Motyka and Gabriel Gorbačevski respectively, as well as their Ministers of Defence, Paweł Zalewski and Tomas Godliauskas. The two states highly prioritise the security of the Baltic Sea, not only for military or economic reasons, but in connection with energy too since oil and gas are being delivered by sea, and moreover, Warsaw and Vilnius plan on investing in offshore wind farms. The CEE neighbours also have energy- and resource-wise ties on land, in the form of the Gas Interconnection Poland–Lithuania (GIPL) and the electricity link known as LitPolLink. Following last year’s synchronisation of the Baltic states with the Continental Europe Synchronous Area (CESA), Poland acts as an essential stabiliser towards the electrical grids of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia.
In the upcoming edition of EnergySecurityCongress.pl, the Crisis Management Act will be discussed as works on its wording are underway, and the “Safe Baltic” Act will be covered as well; the latter has been passed and provides framework for establishing the Centre for Maritime Security, to be operated by the Polish Border Guard (SG). The new regulations also expand the Polish Navy’s powers.
Throughout a series of dedicated sessions, experts from armed forces, uniformed services, administration, and business will talk about technological and cybernetic challenges faced by operators of critical infrastructure, and about funding possibilities available for projects that aim to enhance security. At the same time the conference offers opportunities to discuss how armed forces and uniformed services can cooperate with offshore wind farm operators.
Official partners of the Congress include: Poland’s Government Centre for Security (RCB); Deputy Prime Minister of Poland and Minister of National Defence (MON) Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz; Minister of Foreign Affairs (MSZ); Ministry of Energy (ME); Ministry of Digital Affairs (MC).
