CEF Energy: delivering the infrastructure behind a more secure and diversified Baltic gas market
The European Union's CEF Energy program has successfully funded 14 gas infrastructure projects across the Baltic region to improve energy security. These initiatives have helped the region achieve independence from Russian gas by diversifying supply routes and improving cross-border connectivity.
Why it matters
This represents a significant shift in European energy policy, demonstrating how regional infrastructure investment can reduce geopolitical dependence on single suppliers.
The Baltic Energy Market Interconnection Plan (BEMIP) is one of the four political High-level Groups established under the leadership of the European Commission to foster regional cooperation in the field of energy and one of the priority energy infrastructure corridors identified under the Trans-European Networks for Energy (TEN-E) policy . Under BEMIP, the eight Member States across the Baltic Sea region have worked to improve cross-border connectivity, strengthen regional cooperation and integrate their energy systems into the wider European market.
