First 2018 Connecting Europe Facility Energy Call Open
22/03/2018
Funding available for projects of common interest in the EU energy sector.
The European Union’s energy infrastructure is aging and, in its current state, not suited to match future demand for energy, to ensure security of supply or to support large-scale deployment of energy from renewable sources. The Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) is engineered to address both groups of factors behind the investment gap in the energy sector. A total budget of €5.35 billion is made available for CEF energy projects for the 2014-2020 period, of which €4.7 billion will be in the form of grants managed by the Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA).
