NATO and energy security – since then and how deep?


Energy Vulnerabilities as Part of Emerging Security Challenges

Energy infrastructure and supply are subject to cyber threats, terrorist attacks, environmental threats, piracy and other emerging security risks

Energy vulnerabilities are present in both civilian and military energy supply systems

Training and education, as well as best practice exchanges are important tools to enhance prevention and resilience in the field of energy security


NATO and Energy Security

Bucharest Summit (2008): NATO can add value in the field of energy security. This includes the support to the protection of critical energy infrastructure, information and intelligence sharing, consequence management, and international cooperation.

Lisbon Summit (2010): “In advancing our work, we will … integrate, as appropriate, energy security considerations in NATO’s policies and activities”



The Strategic Concept (2010): NATO will “develop the capacity to contribute to energy security, including protection of critical energy infrastructure and transit areas and lines, cooperation with partners, and consultations among Allies on the basis of strategic assessments and contingency planning”



Chicago Summit Declaration (2012) “we will work towards significantly improving the energy efficiency of our military forces; develop our competence in supporting the protection of critical energy infrastructure; and further develop our outreach activities in consultation with partners, on a case-by-case basis. We welcome the offer to establish a NATO-accredited Energy Security Centre of Excellence in Lithuania as a contribution to NATO’s efforts in this area”


NATO and Energy Security There are many IO working in the field of energy security.

NATO's added value lies in its transatlantic nature, its intelligence sharing platforms and military planning structures, as well as its wide partnership network

Also, there are a number of bodies within NATO dealing with energy security. The focal point for energy security in NATO’s International Staff is the Energy Security Section within the Emerging Security Challenges Division

NATO's strategic commands are also involved in activities related to energy security. One of them is Allied Command Transformation (ACT), which is enhancing training, conducting concept experiments, and promoting interoperability.


NATO Energy Security Center of Excellence: (ENSEC COE): tasks, structure and ambitions


Establishment of the NATO ENSEC COE

A national Energy Security Center was established in Vilnius, Lithuania on 1st January 2011; Stakeholders: MFA, MOD, Ministry of Science and

Education, Ministry of Energy;

The ESC will seek NATO accreditation as a Center of Excellence for Energy Security.

MOUs on the establishment of the NATO ENSEC COE were signed on 10 July 2012 in Norfolk, USA.

On 12 October 2012 the North Atlantic Council approved the accreditation of the Centre as a NATO Centre of Excellence and its activation as an International Military Organization.


Mission of NATO’s ENSEC COE

To assist NATO, Nations, Partners and other bodies by supporting NATO’s capability development process,

mission effectiveness, and interoperability by providing comprehensive and timely

expertise on aspects of energy securityConcept of the NATO ENSEC COE approved by SNs in the 1st Steering

Committee Meeting on 18 July, 2012


Structure of NATO’s ENSEC COE

US will initiate Note of Joining procedure shortly

Main focus - operational energy

Operational energy security - uninterrupted access to reliable supplies of energy resources, capability to employ alternative energy sources in operational environment, efficient and environmentally friendly use of energy resources, and the ability to protect and safely deliver sufficient energy resources to meet operational needs without limiting combat capability.


Research: Publications - analysis of relevant

energy security events and tendencies; Reports –research projects carried out

with ENSEC COE partners; Comments – ENSEC COE experts’ on the

relevant decisions, tendencies and events

Articles - for Swedish Defence Research Agency FOI, contribution to the book on Russian Energy and Security;

Monitoring – news (mainly military dimension), reports and studies (collecting from public sources, considering all available information);

E-Library (NATO LibGuide).

Events:International energy Security Conference (annual event);

Projects:ENSEC COE is Co-director of SENT

Studies: Efficient use of energy resources: case of Lithuanian

National Defense System

“Energy Management in the Expeditionary Environment: Front-End Analysis and Proposed Solutions”;

Transition From Fossil Fuel Based Energy Systems to the Renewables In the Military Applications – after ENERGEX 2012 study;

Outreach activities

We are open to partners!

Continued partnerships: MOU with the Lithuanian Institute of Energy and the

Centre for Energy Security Studies, Vytautas Magnus University, Kaunas

MOU with INFOBALT MOU with EUCOM MOU with Vilnius University MOU with Military Academy of Lithuania

Cooperation with partners


Aims, goals and tasks Contribute to NATO’s efforts to develop partnerships with

and among everyone sharing strategic interests Increase partners’ interest to cooperate inside and with

NATO: introduce new cooperation areas, respond to their interests

Contribute to NATO’s, nations’ and partners’ interoperability, gain from broader subject matter discussion

Stimulate Nations’ and partners’ contribution to NATO’s OES: concepts, doctrines and capabilities development

Get human and financial support for NATO ENSECCOE “soft” activities: research, training, fellowship programs, etc.

Stimulate public – private partnership in the area of operational energy


What could be partners’ inputs and benefits?

Contribution to designing exercises and courses Participation at awareness and other course that

provide general introduction and deeper look into operational energy security

Integration into the NATO COE’s network Better understanding of what NATO is doing and

why Chance for your scientists and industry? Protection of infrastructure and sea lines

that are important for partners?
