The European Union is making substantial investments in energy infrastructure to facilitate its shift towards cleaner energy sources. The EU recognizes the importance of modern cross-border networks for transporting and storing energy to enhance energy security, reduce costs for consumers, and integrate renewable energy effectively. As new technologies like rooftop solar panels, heat pumps, electric vehicles, and hydrogen production drive this transition, the EU faces the challenge of meeting the anticipated 60% rise in electricity consumption by 2030. President von der Leyen has called for increased investment in clean energy infrastructure, highlighting plans for an Electrification Action Plan and a Clean Energy Investment Strategy. These initiatives aim to support a smooth transition towards clean energy and prioritize investments, including those in hydrogen infrastructure. The EU's energy infrastructure policy is closely aligned with its objective of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. To streamline processes and encourage cross-border projects, the EU has identified priority corridors and thematic areas for infrastructure development. These corridors encompass electricity, hydrogen, and offshore grids, while thematic areas focus on smart electricity grids, gas grids, and CO2 networks. Energy projects falling within these areas can apply for Project of Common Interest (PCI) or Project of Mutual Interest (PMI) status. These designations provide benefits such as faster approval processes, enhanced visibility to investors, and reduced administrative costs. The projects are also eligible to seek funding from the Connecting Europe Facility. To facilitate information access and project visibility, a platform has been established to provide detailed information on PCI and PMI projects, including implementation plans and potential financial support. Energy projects seeking PCI or PMI status are encouraged to apply by the deadlines in November and December, depending on the type of infrastructure, to benefit from streamlined processes and potential funding opportunities.
