This paper examines the current status of the Ukrainian energy system, with particular attention paid to legislative frameworks and the possible incorporation of cutting-edge technologies for improved protection. The principal objective is to evaluate the efficacy of current legislation and suggest enhancements to ensure the safety of vital infrastructure. To do this, the study thoroughly examines Ukrainian energy laws, pointing out both the advantages and disadvantages of the existing legal system. Reviewing the laws and rules that guarantee energy facilities’ lawful operation and operational integrity is part of the investigation. By examining several theoretical perspectives on the notion of the „energy system,” the research develops a thorough definition and pinpoints the essential elements and traits of the system. The study examines the requirements for vital infrastructure, setting the energy system apart from the more significant fuel and energy industry. The criticality levels and the responsibilities of the relevant authorities in overseeing these infrastructures are assessed in the study. A study of international documents also emphasizes how critical it is to uphold established norms and mitigate any risks that energy infrastructure may encounter.}, title={The energy system as an object of legal regulation and implementation of innovative technologies for the protection of critical infrastructure}, type={Article}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/134747/PDF-MASTER/03-01-EPJ-00348-2024-02-Beseda%20i%20in.pdf}, keywords={artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, cascading effects, sectoral body, national interest}, }
