This is how Europe is powering its future.

A seamlessly connected grid is the backbone of our energy infrastructure,

keeping us cool in the summer, warm in the winter,

and keeping our industries up and running.

Every region in Europe draws on the strengths of its surroundings.

Through Projects of Common Interest,

these different energy systems can be shared across EU borders,

empowering EU citizens and businesses

with affordable, secure, and sustainable energy.

In addition, Projects of Mutual Interest extend further, to neighbouring countries.

Both types of key infrastructure projects

benefit from accelerated planning and granting of permits,

and can receive funding from the EU’s Connecting Europe Facility.

Projects include the construction of new infrastructure,

but also the modernisation and digitalisation of existing structures.

Pipelines that once transported fossil fuels

are now being repurposed to transport hydrogen,

increasing the share of renewable energy while simultaneously creating new jobs.

Europe’s energy infrastructure is leading the way in our clean energy transition.

Independence from fossil fuels, and the countries that supply them,

ensures a cleaner and more secure future for businesses and consumers

for generations to come.
