Abstract
In this chapter we will develop a view on the risks and the risk decision processes in the European Critical Electricity Infrastructure (ECEI). We will show that, due to their nature and complexity, the management of some of those risks (the ones with an infrastructure resonance) cannot be left alone to the risk managers within each constituting national or regional power system. The risks to the infrastructure impact society as a whole and have to be governed accordingly – i.e. with the participation of all actors or with acknowledgment of all actors' goals and interests.
