Abstract
Current trends in energy, like the increasing need to integrate renewable energy sources, the evolution of future smart grids and distributed generation, are likely to dramatically increase the dependence of the electricity infrastructure on ICT. This opens new possibilities but also creates new risks, both inherent risks and due to new opportunities for malicious attacks. This book has highlighted these challenges from different points of view. The aim of this final chapter is to demonstrate how they together show a way forward to ensuring a secure and high quality supply of electricity that meets future demands.
