5th PCI Energy Days

This edition of the PCI Energy Days is dedicated to the practical implementation of Projects of Common Interest and of Projects of Mutual Interest. We invite representatives of EU country administrations, regulators, grid operators and project promoters to meet with the industry, civil society and the wider financing community to discuss and share successful examples of how they have overcome some of the most pressing challenges in building and modernising the energy infrastructure needed to meet the EU’s 2030 climate and energy targets.

The event takes place over 2 days and features a policy conference focusing on the most critical aspects of speeding up large-scale energy infrastructure, notably cross-border cooperation practices between promoters and authorities, permitting experiences, attracting finance, addressing procurement challenges and seizing opportunities for a collaborative approach to planning grids with and for local communities. A PCI Garden, open during the entire event, will offer project promoters, research centres and other stakeholders the opportunity to showcase their projects in an effort to provide the audience with a snapshot of the successful track record of the EU’s energy infrastructure policy in the past decade.

Commissioner Kadri Simson will open the event, which will be chaired by Director-General Ditte Juul Jørgensen. 

The Commission will follow up on the 10th Energy Infrastructure Forum in Copenhagen, organised under its patronage in late June, discussing how to speed up the modernisation and construction of key infrastructure in the face of current global challenges, including those targeted in the EU Action Plan for Grids launched during last year’s edition. The event will highlight the achievements of an interconnected energy market and revisit our ambition to accelerate the necessary deployment of offshore renewables, smart grids, hydrogen infrastructure and CO₂ networks in an integrated approach.
