Fourth PCI Energy Days

Must read

This is the fourth edition of the PCI Energy Days, a policy conference and exhibition dedicated to the practical implementation of Projects of Common Interest. It invites EU countries, regulators, grid operators and project promoters to meet with the industry, civil society and the wider financing community to discuss and share successful practices 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 will run over 2 days and will feature 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, aims to offer the 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 EU’s 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 present its initiatives following up on the Future of our Grids event, organised under its patronage in early September, to speed up the modernisation and construction of key infrastructure in the face of the current global challenges, including the 1st Union list of PCIs and PMIs organised under the revised TEN-E Regulation and a dedicated Action Plan for Grids. The aim is to highlight that the achievements of an interconnected energy market are the basis for an ever more ambitious plan to accelerate the necessary deployment of offshore renewables, smart grids, hydrogen infrastructure and CO2 networks in an integrated approach.

Participation is onsite only, but the event will be live web-streamed on DG Energy’s YouTube channel on both days
