Call

Electricity, Gas, Smart Grids and CO₂ networks – Works

Summary

Both topics under this call aim to enable PCIs to be implemented within the framework of the deployment of trans-European networks in the energy sector. In particular, the call shall contribute to supporting energy infrastructure PCIs that have significant socio-economic benefits and ensure greater solidarity among Member States, but which do not receive adequate financing from the market.

The objective of studies and works is to support and contribute to the implementation of PCIs.

Detailed Call Description

Projects supported by this call pursue the goals and objectives of the European Green Deal, as well as the Paris Agreement and the 2030 climate and energy targets and long-term decarbonisation objectives. Therefore, financial assistance provided under this call for proposals should maximise its added value towards decarbonisation of the energy sector.

In addition, financial assistance provided under this call should contribute to further integration of an efficient and competitive internal energy market, and to interoperability of networks across borders and sectors. Indeed, past CEF actions in this field have been decisive in catalysing the realisation of key electricity and gas infrastructure projects, the strategic value of which has notably been demonstrated in the current energy crisis.

Both topics under this call will support the implementation of PCIs within the framework of the deployment of trans-European networks in the electricity, smart grids, gas and cross-border dioxide sectors.

This topic refers to projects for works contributing to the implementation of a PCI. Works in the meaning of CEF-Energy include the purchase, supply and deployment of components, systems and services including software, the development, construction and installation activities relating to a PCI, the acceptance of installations and the launching of a PCI.

Only projects contributing to PCIs as identified in the PCI List shall be eligible for support through EU financial aid in the form of grants.

The proposals requesting grants for works which fail to provide the relevant supporting documents or that provide supporting documents that are not legally valid at the time of their submission or which fail to comply with any of the eligibility criteria indicated above may not be eligible.

Call Total Budget

€750 000 000

Financing percentage by EU or other bodies / Level of Subsidy or Loan

The costs will be reimbursed at the funding rates fixed in the Grant Agreement (maximum 50% for the costs of studies and works, maximum 70% for the costs of works in outermost regions).

Someone can apply for a higher project funding rate if your project: provides a high degree of regional or EU wide security of supply, strengthens the solidarity of the EU or comprises highly innovative solutions, based on the evidence referred to in Article 14(2) of the TEN-E Regulation (‘security of supply/solidarity/innovation’): 75%
