Projects of Common Interest (PCI)

The European Commission has identified 12 strategic Trans-European energy infrastructure priorities, the implementation of which by 2020 is essential for the achievement of the Union’s energy and climate policy objectives. These priorities cover different geographic regions or thematic areas in the field of electricity transmission and storage, gas transmission, storage and liquefied or compressed natural gas infrastructure, smart grids, electricity highways, carbon dioxide transport and oil infrastructure.

The European Parliament and the Council on 17 April 2013 have taken the Regulation (EC) No 347/2013 on guidelines for Trans-European energy infrastructure and repealing Decision No 1364/2006/EC and amending Regulations (EC) No 713/2009, (EC) No 714/2009 and (EC) No 715/2009.

This Regulation lays down the rules for the timely development and interoperability of priority corridors and regions of Trans-European energy networks, and defines the projects of common interest required for the implementation of priority corridors and the regions that fall under the stated category.

Projects of common interest should comply with common, transparent and objective criteria in view of their contribution to the energy policy objectives and should be given the “priority status“ at the national level.

In compliance with article 3 paragraph 4 subparagraph 2 of the Regulation (EU) no. 347/2013, the Union list of projects of common interest is determined every two years. The new European Union list of projects of common interest has been determined by the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/564 of 19. November 2021.
