Commission Launches EUR 600 Million Call to Boost Cross-Border Energy Infrastructure
The European Commission has launched a new call for proposals worth up to EUR 600 million under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), aimed at supporting key cross-border energy infrastructure projects across the EU. The funding is available for initiatives listed as Projects of Common Interest (PCIs) and Projects of Mutual Interest (PMIs), as defined under the revised TEN-E Regulation, which excludes fossil fuel infrastructure and supports the EU’s climate and energy transition goals. The Commission emphasises the urgency of investing in the Energy Union to enhance competitiveness, reduce energy costs, and ensure security of supply. EU co-financing is available for both studies and construction works, with applications open until 16 September 2025.
An online info day will be held in May 2025 to assist stakeholders in the application process. The results of the call will be published in early 2026.
