For the 2021-2027 funding period, a new category of eligible projects has been introduced in the energy part of the revised Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) programme: cross-border projects in the field of renewable energy.
The new CEF Energy window complements other EU renewable energy funding opportunities, focusing specifically on cross-border cooperation to optimise national efforts for deployment of renewable energy.
To be eligible for financing, cross-border projects should first be qualified and included in the “list of cross-border projects in the field of renewable energy”, also known as the CB RES List.
On 7 November 2023, the European Commission launched the third call to obtain the status of cross-border renewable energy projects that will allow the cross-border RES projects to be in that list.
During the info day on 24 November 2023, CINEA will explain the characteristics of the call, the context, the criteria and some tips and trick to prepare a good application.
