The sixth round of calls for EU cross-border renewable energy projects looking to obtain priority status is open until October 6. The accreditation gives projects eligibility to apply for grants for studies or construction under the Connecting Europe Facility.
The European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) has launched a new call for projects that are looking to obtain cross-border renewable energy (CB RES) status.
First launched in 2021, the CB RES accreditation supports renewable energy projects that involve cross-border cooperation, either between EU member states or between member states and non-EU countries.
Obtaining CB RES status allows projects to access EU funding for studies and works available under a designated channel of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Energy Program. A statement published by CINEA adds that the priority status can also increase the project’s visibility at the EU level, strengthen support from member states and enhance investor confidence.
The latest call represents the sixth since the launch of the CEB RES scheme and is set to be the last delivered under the EU’s current 2021–2027 Multiannual Financial Framework.
