The European Commission has adopted the first list of Projects of Common Interest (PCIs) and Projects of Mutual Interest (PMIs) in line with the European Green Deal, which consists in 166 cross-border infrastructure projects that will help the European Union reach its 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; 65 are hydrogen and electrolyser projects, while 14 projects are CO2 network projects in line with the EU’s goals to create a market for carbon capture and storage (CCS). The list was adopted under the revised Trans-European Networks for Energy Regulation (TEN-E), which ends support for fossil fuel infrastructure and focuses on cross-border energy infrastructure in Europe.
