The Energy Community Secretariat has launched a public consultation on eight projects under consideration for the next list of Projects of Energy Community Interest (PECI).

Under Regulation (EU) 2022/869 (revised TEN-E), a PECI list must be adopted every two years, with the next list scheduled for December 2026.

By the nomination deadline on January 19, 2026, 27 projects were submitted – 16 for electricity and 11 for gas – of which eight electricity projects were found eligible and proceeded to further assessment.

The projects under consideration have been identified for their potential to deliver clear cross-border benefits, helping the region address infrastructure bottlenecks and adapt its grids to rising renewable energy demand, the secretariat explained.
