Fixing a cut cable in the Baltic: what closing the repair gap would take
EU funding for subsea cable repair covers telecom lines, not the power cables carrying offshore wind and interconnector traffic, leaving grid operators to pool their own vessels and spares as a nascent rental market fills the equipment gap.
How sabotage fears and a Swedish cable standoff are reshaping the EU’s grid interconnection drive
A wave of EU interconnection funding has collided with security fears and national pushback — from a Swedish cable freeze to a sabotage-repair fund and a Polish blackout drill.
EIB lends EUR 100 million to turn Klaipėda into a NATO-ready port with offshore wind quays

From national to regional: how 2026 rewired cooperation around the North Sea and the Baltic
Four early-2026 forums, from the Hamburg North Sea Summit to a 47-region declaration in Stockholm, converged on cross-border offshore planning. A roundup of what they decided and what the Baltic can borrow.
Klaipėda deploys sensor buoy to guide ships through GPS jamming and improve port forecasts
A sensor buoy four nautical miles off Klaipėda now streams sea and GPS-interference data to shore, serving as a fixed reference for ships when satellite navigation fails.
Who repairs a cut cable? The missing layer in Baltic subsea infrastructure protection
Prevention and detection dominate the debate on Baltic subsea infrastructure. Repair capacity - vessels, spare sections and crews - is the thinnest layer, and the European funding that exists mostly covers telecom cables rather than power.
Nordic and Baltic energy ministers meet in Tallinn on grid security and undersea infrastructure
Energy ministers from the eight Nordic and Baltic countries met in Tallinn on 4 September to discuss Ukraine, the protection of critical energy infrastructure and market competitiveness, with Finland pressing for EU support on repairing undersea assets.
From the seabed to the airspace: what actually protects Baltic energy infrastructure
Mine clearance, anti-submarine patrols, air defence and a defence-tech accelerator each protect Baltic energy assets in part. None of them was designed to, and the financing question is still open.
Security by design: how the Baltic’s offshore build-out became a defence question
Summit declarations, a NATO-funding proposal and a Finnish intelligence assessment now point the same way: Baltic offshore wind is being treated as critical infrastructure. Poland shows what that means on the ground.
Heat and low water squeeze Europe’s nuclear fleet, Romania offline since 2003 first
Sustained heat and low river levels cut European nuclear output, leaving Romania without nuclear generation for the first time since 2003.
Sweden rejects Eolus offshore wind projects on defence grounds
Sweden has rejected Eolus's Vaestvind and Najaderna offshore wind projects on defence grounds, part of a round rejecting 11 projects and a shift to tenders.
Poland’s wind disinformation war: what the claims say, and what the evidence shows
Familiar claims paint Polish wind power as unhealthy, unreliable and uneconomic. A growing body of research maps where those narratives come from, what they cost, and why Poland's own Grajewo model points to the answer.
IEA, IMF, World Bank and WTO warn Middle East war is straining global energy supplies
The IEA, IMF, World Bank and WTO have jointly warned that the Middle East war is straining global energy supplies, with record oil-stock draws through the Strait of Hormuz and higher fuel and fertiliser prices.
