“The critical infrastructure - the transmission networks that ensure the safety of the entire system - was never threatened,” Tusk said.
“The attacks targeted certain parts of the energy sector, including two combined heat and power plants, but they were not capable of destabilising the entire system or causing a blackout.”
The politician added that the attacks were aimed at systems managing electricity from renewable energy sources and there were strong indications the incidents were directly linked to Russian security services.
Tusk also announced that his government is finalising legislation on the National Cybersecurity System, which he hopes to implement as swiftly as possible, underscoring Poland's commitment to strengthening its digital defences.
Below is video material from the press conference held after Thursday's meeting addressing the recent cyberatacks on Poland's energy infrastructure.
Earlier, the prime minister had announced via social media that a meeting was underway to address the cyberattacks on Poland’s energy infrastructure.
Last week, Energy Minister Miłosz Motyka said that the unsuccessful cyberattacks at the end of 2025 targeted one combined heat and power plant as well as several renewable energy sources across the country. He added that, in response to repeated cyberattacks, the ministry plans to increase investment and modernise Poland’s energy infrastructure in 2026 to better defend against future attempts.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Affairs Krzysztof Gawkowski told RMF FM radio on Tuesday that all indications point to the attacks being an act of Russian sabotage intended to destabilise Poland.
Premier podkreślił, że "ani przez chwilę nie była zagrożona infrastruktura krytyczna".
