ANNEX — PART IV: IDENTIFICATION OF CROSS-BORDER PROJECTS IN THE FIELD OF RENEWABLE ENERGY

1. Objective of cross-border projects in the field of renewable energy

Cross-border projects in the field of renewable energy shall promote the cross-border cooperation between Member States in the field of planning, development and cost-effective exploitation of renewable energy sources with the aim of contributing to the Union’s long term decarbonisation targets.

2. General criteria

In order to qualify as a cross-border project in the field of renewable energy, a project shall meet all of the following general criteria:

(a) it shall be included in a cooperation agreement or any other kind of arrangement between Member States and/or between Member States and third countries as set out in Articles 6, 7, 9 or 11 of Directive 2009/28/EC;

(b) it shall provide cost savings in the deployment of renewables and/or benefits for system integration, security of supply or innovation in comparison to an alternative cross-border energy project or a renewable energy project implemented by one of the participating Member States alone;

(c) the potential overall benefits of cooperation outweigh its costs, including in the longer term, as assessed on the basis of the cost-benefit analysis as referred to in point 3 and applying the methodology referred to in Article [7]

3. Cost-benefit analysis

The cost-benefit analysis referred to in point 2(c) above shall take into account for each of the participating Member States or third countries the impact inter alia on the following aspects:

(a) costs of electricity generation;

(b) system integration costs;

(c) cost of support;

(d) greenhouse gas emissions;

(e) security of supply;

(f) air and other local pollution or effects on local nature and the environment

(g) innovation.

4. Process

Promoters of a project, including Member States, potentially eligible for selection as a cross-border project in the field of renewable energy under a cooperation agreement or any other kind of arrangement in the field of renewable energy between Member States and/or between Member States and third countries as set out in Articles 9 or 11 of Directive (EU) 2018/… of the European Parliament and of the Council (+) (1) (+) . and seeking to obtain the status of cross-border projects in the field of renewable energy, shall submit an application for selection as a cross-border projects in the field of renewable energy to the Commission. The application shall include the relevant information to allow the Commission to evaluate the project against the criteria laid down in points 2 and 3, in line with the methodologies referred to in Article 7.

The Commission shall ensure that promoters are given the opportunity to apply for the status of cross-border projects in the field of renewable energy at least once a year.

The Commission shall conduct appropriate consultations on the list of projects submitted to become cross-border projects in the field of renewable energy.

The Commission shall evaluate the applications against the criteria laid down in points 2 and 3.

The Commission shall, when selecting the cross-border projects in the field of renewable energy, aim for a manageable total number. The Commission shall endeavour to ensure an appropriate geographical balance in the identification of cross-border projects in the field of renewable energy. Regional groupings may be used for the identification of projects.

A project shall not be selected as a cross-border projects in the field of renewable energy, or have the status withdrawn, if its evaluation was based on incorrect information which was a determining factor in the evaluation, or if the project does not comply with Union law.

The Commission shall publish on its website the list of selected cross border projects in the field of renewable energy.

PART V — DIGITAL CONNECTIVITY INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS OF COMMON INTEREST

1. Gigabit and 5G or other state-of-art mobile connectivity to socio-economic drivers

Actions shall be prioritised taking into account the function of the socio-economic drivers, the relevance of the digital services and applications enabled by providing the underlying connectivity, and the potential socio-economic benefits to citizens, business and local communities, including the potential spill-overs in terms of connectivity. The available budget shall be allocated in a geographically balanced manner across Member States.

Priority shall be given to actions contributing to:

— Gigabit connectivity for hospitals and medicals centres, in line with the efforts to digitialise the healthcare system, with a view to increasing the well-being of EU citizens and changing the way health and care services are delivered to patients (26);

— Gigabit Connectivity for education and research centres, in the context of the efforts to facilitate the use of inter alia high-speed computing, cloud applications and big data, close digital divides and to innovate in education systems, to improve learning outcomes, enhance equity and improve efficiency. (27)

— 5G or very-high capacity wireless broadband connectivity for education and research centres, hospitals and medical centres in the context of the efforts to bring uninterrupted 5G wireless broadband coverage to all urban centres by 2025.

2. Wireless connectivity in local communities

Actions aiming at the provision of local wireless connectivity that is free of charge and without discriminatory conditions in centres of local public life, including outdoor spaces accessible to the general public that play a major role in the public life of local communities shall be subject to the following conditions in order to receive funding:

— are implemented by a public sector body as referred to in the paragraph below which is capable of planning and supervising the installation, as well as ensuring for a minimum of three years the financing of operating costs, of indoor or outdoor local wireless access points in public spaces;

— build on very high capacity digital networks enabling delivery of very high quality internet experience to users that: — is free of charge and without discriminatory conditions, easy to access, secured, and uses most recent and best available equipment, capable of delivering high-speed connectivity to its users; and — supports equal access to innovative digital services;

— use the common visual identity available in multiple languages to be provided by the Commission and link to the associated online tools;

— commit to procure the necessary equipment and/or related installation services in accordance with applicable law to ensure that projects do not unduly distort competition.

Financial assistance shall be available to public sector bodies as defined in point (1) of Article 3 of Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council (28) undertaking to provide, in accordance with national law, local wireless connectivity that is free of charge and without discriminatory conditions through the installation of local wireless access points.

Funded actions shall not duplicate existing free private or public offers of similar characteristics, including quality in the same public space.

The available budget shall be allocated in a geographically balanced manner across Member States.

3. Indicative list of 5G corridors and cross-border connections eligible for funding

In line with the Gigabit society objectives set out by the Commission to ensure that major terrestrial transport paths have uninterrupted 5G coverage by 2025 (29), actions implementing uninterrupted coverage with 5G systems pursuant to Article 9 paragraph 4 (c) include, as a first step, actions on the cross-border sections for CAM (30) experimentation, and, as a second step, actions on more extensive sections in view of a larger scale deployment of CAM along the corridors, as indicated in the table below (indicative list). The TEN-T corridors are used as a basis for this purpose but the deployment of 5G is not necessarily confined to those corridors (31).
