European Call on Cross-Border Renewable Energy programme (CB-RES)
December 2022
The Cross-Border Renewable Energy programme (CB RES), part of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) programme, opened a call to provide support for financing preparatory studies.
The scope of the CB RES programme covers renewable energy projects that involve physical or non-physical cross-border cooperation between EU Members States, but also a Member State and non-EU countries.
CB RES projects do not have a capacity threshold and are not limited to the electricity sector. They can cover other energy carriers such as hydrogen and end-use sectors such as heating and cooling, power-to-gas, storage or transport. A project developer can seek financing for preparatory studies contributing to the development of a future CB RES project generation and studies and works.
Financing for preparatory studies is designed to provide technical support to overcome obstacles which prevent cooperation projects from going ahead, such as uncertainty on the allocation of costs and benefits between the involved Member States or the additional complexity of setting up cross-border support.
The deadline for submission is 10-01-2023.
