The European Commission has launched today a new call for proposals worth up to €600 million under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) to fund key cross-border energy infrastructure projects across the EU.
The call is open to projects included on the first list of Projects of Common Interest (PCIs) and Projects of Mutual Interest (PMIs). The list was adopted under the revised TEN-E Regulation which ends support for fossil fuel infrastructure and will help the EU reach its ambitious climate and energy goals.
Project promoters may apply for EU co-financing both for studies and construction works, until 16 September 2025. On May 2025, the Commission will organise a CEF Energy online info day to support stakeholders with the application and evaluation process. The results of this call will be released early next year.
This call will help the EU complete the Energy Union and make sure citizens and businesses can fully benefit from the clean energy transition and integrated energy markets.
CEF Energy is a key funding instrument to support the necessary infrastructure developments. It promotes growth, jobs and competitiveness with a total budget of €5.88 billion for the period 2021-2027.
