On Friday 19 July, the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) unveiled the five new actions selected under the CEF Energy 2023 CB RES call for studies to support the development of cross-border renewable energy projects.
The selected projects, with total funding of €67.4 million, cover offshore and onshore wind, biomass, district heating and green hydrogen/ammonia sectors, and are located in Estonia, Latvia, the Netherlands, Germany and Poland.
The SLOWP project (€10 million) aims to build and operate an offshore wind farm in Estonian coastal waters by 2030.
The Utilitas Lode-Penuja RES wind farm (ULP-RES) (€26.6 million) is a project to establish a cross-border onshore renewable energy wind farm in the border areas of Estonia and Latvia with a total capacity of 200 MW.
The UNITED HEAT project, aimed at decarbonising heat production in the city of Görlitz/Zgorzelec, has been awarded €4.8 million for technical studies and €14.5 million for building and commissioning a biomass heating plant and a district heating pipeline.
Finally, the objective of CICERONE-Ammonia (€11.6 million), part of the CICERONE project, is to establish an integrated, cross-border renewable hydrogen value chain, while integrating renewable energies from Spain.
