In this letter to EU officials and governments, the EEB expresses its concern regarding the recent energy infrastructure priorities unveiled by the European Commission. The 6th list of Projects of Common Interest (PCI) fails to address the most critical gaps in cross-border electricity interconnection and does not accurately reflect Europe’s energy decarbonisation needs.
Most of the electricity cross-border projects in this release were already part of the 5th PCI list published in 2021. Conversely, most new projects added to this list focus on hydrogen and CCS infrastructure.
To deliver on its energy targets and climate neutrality objective, Europe must double its current electricity interconnection capacity over the next ten to fifteen years.
