Say you have a wind farm and an attack drone is heading towards it. What can you do? Not much.

The Casimir Pulaski Foundation's recent report on Poland's energy security raises this uncomfortable point. Poland's Baltic coastline is becoming a critical energy entry point - oil through Gdansk, gas through Baltic Pipe and the LNG terminal, plus upcoming offshore wind and nuclear.

We've already seen multiple attacks on Baltic infrastructure in recent years. Yet protection frameworks are still in development. Coordination between civilian operators, ministries, and the military remains a challenge. And there's a funding and responsibility gap: asset owners can install cameras and fences, but they can't launch interceptor drones. Security costs money, and without clear legal requirements, it's hard to justify it within investment projects.

The report sums it up well: “markets are being asked to deliver resilience that would be publicly financed in other security domains”.
