EU earmarks Eur1.3 billion for 2020 infrastructure

摘要

The EU has agreed to earmark Eur1.28 billion ($1.4 billion) of its 2020 budget to support priority energy infrastructure projects under the Connecting Europe Facility, the European Commission said November 19. This is up 35% on the CEF energy allocation agreed for 2019, as part of EU efforts to prioritize funding for tackling climate change, for example by supporting infrastructure to integrate large-scale renewables, the EC said.
