EVELIXIA Strengthens Cybersecurity and Digital Resilience in the Energy Sector

On 30–31 October 2025, the EVELIXIA project was featured at the Energy Cybersecurity Forum, an event highlighting the growing importance of cybersecurity in an increasingly digitalised energy system and the need to ensure the resilience of future grids.

EVELIXIA’s participation was made possible thanks to the strong and ongoing collaboration between key project partners, notably the Energy Transition Research Center (EnTReC) at the Technical University of Cluj‑Napoca (TUCN) and Distribuție Energie Electrică Romania (DEER). This partnership plays a central role in advancing secure and innovative energy solutions within the project.

During the forum’s panel discussions, EVELIXIA was presented as a forward‑looking solution for the future of energy management. The project’s vision is to enable Buildings as Active Utility Nodes (BAUNs), transforming traditional buildings into active assets that are smart and connected, flexible, and cyber‑resilient.

Participants were introduced to the current progress of EVELIXIA, with a particular focus on the Romanian pilot site. The audience learned about the infrastructure already installed and the role it plays in testing secure, digitally integrated energy solutions under real operating conditions.

At present, TUCN and DEER are working closely on data collection and processing, ensuring that the performance and efficiency of EVELIXIA’s solutions are supported by robust, real‑world evidence. This work is essential to validate the project’s approach to secure digital energy management and to demonstrate how cybersecurity can be effectively embedded into future building‑centric energy systems.

By contributing to discussions at the Energy Cybersecurity Forum, EVELIXIA reinforces its commitment to digital trust, resilience, and innovation, positioning itself at the intersection of smart energy systems and cybersecurity.
