In a New development raising security concerns, Denmark has Discovered mysterious and potentially suspicious components embedded within solar panels and wind turbines acquired from an unnamed foreign supplier.
The discovery has prompted immediate action from Green Power Denmark, the national organization overseeing the renewable energy sector, which has since suspended all cooperation with the supplier pending further investigation.
While the exact nature and function of the components have not yet been disclosed publicly, experts warn that such anomalies could signal a serious cyber security risk.
Green Power Denmark has not confirmed the identity of the supplier; however, the decision to halt collaboration underscores the potential severity of the issue.
This revelation follows closely on the heels of a similar incident in the United States just weeks ago, where Trojan malware was discovered in Chinese-manufactured inverters installed in solar infrastructure.
That case sparked concerns about the vulnerability of critical infrastructure to foreign interference and has led to increased scrutiny of supply chains in the renewable energy sector.
Security analysts suggest the Danish case may be part of a broader pattern targeting green energy systems, which are becoming increasingly central to national energy strategies.
“The clean energy sector is now critical infrastructure,” one expert noted. “Any compromise here is not just technical—it’s strategic.”
Danish authorities have launched an investigation to determine whether the components pose a cyber threat or are the result of technical error.
Until then, systems potentially affected will remain under review, and future imports from the supplier are frozen.
Green Power Denmark emphasized its commitment to ensuring the safety and integrity of the country’s renewable energy systems, noting that public trust and national security remain top priorities in the green transition.
