U.S. energy officials have launched an investigation after discovering unauthorized communication equipment embedded within Chinese-manufactured solar power inverters connected to critical infrastructure grids across the country.
Energy security experts warn that coordinated remote manipulation of these devices could destabilize power grids and trigger widespread blackouts, particularly as Chinese-made inverters now control a substantial portion of renewable energy capacity in the United States and Europe.
Some, like Florida Power & Light Company, are reportedly reducing their reliance on Chinese inverters, although the utility declined to comment. “Ten years ago, if you switched off the Chinese inverters, it would not have caused a dramatic thing to happen to European grids,” said Philipp Schroeder, CEO of German solar developer 1Komma5.
Experts have warned that communication devices could evade firewalls and switch inverters off remotely, posing a huge risk to power grids, as they could change settings, damage energy infrastructure, destabilize the grid, and cause widespread blackouts.
