Commission proposes 166 EU cross-border energy projects
December 2023
On November 28, the Commission adopted a list of 166 cross-border energy projects for EU support to help deliver the European Green Deal.
These key cross-border infrastructure projects will help the EU reach its ambitious energy and climate goals. The projects will benefit from streamlined permitting and regulatory procedures, and become eligible for EU financial support from the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF).
Out of the 166 selected projects:
- over half (85) are electricity, offshore and smart electricity grid projects, with many expected to be commissioned between 2027 and 2030.
- for the first time, hydrogen and electrolyser projects (65) are included, which will play a major role in enabling energy system integration and the decarbonisation of EU industry.
- the list also includes 14 CO2 network projects in line with our goals to create a market for carbon capture and storage.
