Annex I / Sector guidance

Energy and NIS2

Electricity, district heating and cooling, oil, gas and hydrogen activities appear in the Directive’s high criticality sector annex. Exact entity categories and national rules need checking.

Applicability starts with the service

Compare the precise entity and service category in Annex I with the organisation’s actual activity. Review size-related rules, exceptions and the law of the relevant Member State before concluding that an entity is in or out of scope.

Implementation considerations

  • Map services and operational technology dependencies
  • Review incident coordination and business continuity
  • Document critical suppliers and access paths

Obligations to review

For in-scope entities, examine cybersecurity risk-management measures, management oversight and the reporting of significant incidents, including the national rules and any sector-specific EU measures.

A sector listing is not a determination of legal status or an exhaustive description of covered entities.

Official sources and context
