dc.description.abstractEN	Europe’s energy transition is increasing the strategic importance of electricity distribution grids for security of supply, as decentralized renewables, electrification and digitalization intensify operational complexity at the distribution level. This master’s thesis examines whether EU policy and regulatory frameworks adequately safeguard distribution networks against physical, cyber and climate threats, and whether current incentive and cost recovery rules support timely, resilient investment. It combines doctrinal analysis of EU electricity market legislation with a review of cross sector resilience instruments and draws on disruption and incident experiences to illustrate how vulnerabilities can materialize at the distribution edge and at the transmission-distribution boundary. The thesis identifies gaps in planning, data and interoperability, compliance assurance, permitting, and regulatory treatment of anticipatory and resilience investments, alongside distributional consequences where modernization costs are largely socialized through network tariffs, and proposes targeted reforms to align resilience objectives, incentives and tariff design with the distribution grid’s expanding role in the clean energy transition.	el
