Key facts:

• CINEA published the latest project data from the second Union list of Projects of Common Interest (PCIs) and Projects of Mutual Interest (PMIs).
• The list includes 113 electricity projects, 100 hydrogen projects, and 17 CO2 network projects.
• These projects will benefit from streamlined permit-granting procedures and regulatory support.
• Eligible projects can apply for EU funding under the CEF Energy programme.
• The next call for applications is set to launch on April 30, 2026, with a deadline at the end of September 2026.

Despite this growth in energy infrastructure, challenges loom. Output price inflation has reached its highest level in 37 months, raising concerns about inflation expectations. The composite PMI has fallen into contraction for the first time since May 2025, indicating potential economic slowdown.

“The recovery in the German economy has been stopped in its tracks by the war in the Middle East,” an agency representative stated, highlighting broader geopolitical factors affecting economic stability.

Yet, Christine Lagarde noted that “the uncertainty about the duration of the shock and the breadth of pass-through argues for gathering more information before drawing firm conclusions for monetary policy.” This suggests that while energy infrastructure projects are on the rise, external factors complicate the overall economic outlook.

As Europe pushes towards decarbonisation and aims to stabilize energy prices, these new initiatives may play a crucial role in shaping the continent’s future energy landscape.
