EU Enhances Energy Connectivity through Trans-European Networks for Energy Policy
The EU's Trans-European Networks for Energy (TEN-E) framework supports cross-border energy projects and addresses emerging energy needs with new legislation. Established in 2013, TEN-E identifies priority corridors and thematic areas, including 11 geographical corridors and 3 thematic areas. Eligible projects, which include projects of common interest (PCI) and mutual interest (PMI), must significantly impact energy markets. Currently, over 150 cross-border projects, mainly focused on electricity and smart grids, are listed under TEN-E.

The EU's Trans-European Networks for Energy (TEN-E) policy framework, established in 2013, aims to enhance energy infrastructure connectivity among EU countries. It identifies 11 priority geographical corridors, such as north-south electricity interconnections and hydrogen interconnections, and 3 priority thematic areas, including smart electricity grids.
Projects eligible for the TEN-E list include projects of common interest (PCI) within EU member states and projects of mutual interest (PMI) with non-EU countries. To qualify, projects must align with priority corridors and significantly impact energy markets. There are currently over 150 cross-border projects on the TEN-E list, primarily focused on electricity and smart grids.
