In some cases, the Internet will be used as part of this critical infrastructure, e.g., to enable communication with end-user services. Consequently, developing technologies for ensuring the security and resilience of smart grids and the Internet are of paramount importance. For these technologies to be widely adopted, important socio-economic aspects must be considered, which will be addressed in a new EU-funded project, called SPARKS. In this paper, two examples are given of how socio-economic aspects affect security and resilience of smart grid development. The first one outlines the chain-of-custody issue, which might influence the security architecture of a smart grid. The second one outlines a bottleneck in the institutional setting, which might restrict the flexibility and resilience at the distribution level of smart grids.
