Following the adoption of the revised TEN-E Regulation in the Energy Community in December 2023, a new selection process for PECI projects started in February 2024. Expected to be finished by autumn 2024, this ongoing process will result in a preliminary list of Projects of Energy Community (PECI) interest. The list will be tabled for approval at the Ministerial Council meeting in December 2024.

As a next step, all nominated projects will undergo thorough pre-selection and evaluation, guided by the criteria outlined in the revised TEN-E Regulation.
