Project of Common Interest

Projects of Common Interest (PCIs) are major infrastructure projects that modernise and link energy networks and systems across Europe. Each PCI helps at least two countries work together to develop state-of-the-art energy grids that are better interconnected with new infrastructure such as overhead lines, underground cables and smart grid assets.

PCIs are intended to help the EU achieve its energy policy and climate objectives: affordable, secure and sustainable energy for all citizens, and the long-term decarbonisation of the economy in accordance with the Paris Agreement.

Main benefits of the project include an economically efficient electricity system with decreased losses and enhanced quality, greater security of supply, improved integration of renewable energy sources, increased grid users’ capacity, improved capacity utilization, positive environmental impact and enhanced international cooperation and knowledge sharing.

What are our goals

Integration of renewable energy sources

Positive enviromental impact

Ready for energy efficient future

Increased grid capacity

Enhanced quality and security of supply

Goals

Strong and modern infrastructure.

Main goals are the modernization and digitization of the energy infrastructure.

Gabreta Smart Grids will foster the cross-border cooperation on the distribution level through a new cross-border interconnection. The specific project activities will prepare the power grid infrastructure for a broader energy transition towards intermittent renewable sources.
