(4) Reflecting the importance of tackling climate change in line with Union’s commitments to implement the Paris Agreement, and the commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, this Regulation should therefore mainstream climate action and lead to the achievement of an overall target of 25% of the EU budget expenditures supporting climate objectives18 . Actions under this Programme are expected to contribute 60% of the overall financial envelope of the Programme to climate objectives, based inter alia on the following Rio markers: i) 100% for the e. Expenditures relating to railway infrastructure, alternative fuels, clean urban transport, electricity transmission, electricity storage, smart grids, CO2 transportation and, renewable energy; ii) 40% for, gas infrastructure, inland waterways and multimodal transport, and gas infrastructure - if enabling increased use of renewable hydrogen or bio-methane shall be considered as compliant with climate objectives. Relevant actions will be identified during the Programme's preparation and implementation, and reassessed in the context of the relevant evaluations and review processes. In order to prevent that infrastructure is vulnerable to potential long term climate change impacts and to ensure that the cost of greenhouse gas emissions arising from the project is included in the project's economic evaluation, projects supported by the Programme should be subject to climate proofing in accordance with guidance that should be developed by the Commission coherently with the guidance developed for other programmes of the Union where relevant. __________________ 18 COM(2018) 321, page 13 COM(2018) 321, page 13

Recital 20
(20) Innovative infrastructure technologies that enable the transition to a low carb-emission energy and mobility systems and improve security of supply are essential in view of the Union's decarbonisation agenda. In particular, in its Communication of 23 November 2017 "Communication on strengthening Europe's energy networks"28 , the Commission emphasised that the role of electricity, where renewable energy will constitute half of the electricity generation by 2030, will increasingly be driving the decarbonisation of sectors so far dominated by high-emission fossil fuels, such as transport, industry and heating and cooling and that accordingly, the focus under the trans- European energy infrastructure policy is increasingly on electricity interconnections, electricity storages and, smart grids projects and gas infrastructure investments. To support the Union's decarbonisation objectives, due consideration and priority should be given to technologies and projects contributing to the transition to a low carb-emission economy. The Commission will aim at increasing the number of cross-border smart grid, innovative storage as well as carbon dioxide transportation projects to be supported under the Programme. __________________ 28 COM(2017) 718 COM(2017) 718

(20a) Priority should be given by the Commission to those projects that contribute to achieving a level of interconnection of 15% in 2030 if the price differential in the wholesale market exceeds a threshold of 2 EUR/MWh between Member States, regions or bidding zones, if the nominal transmission capacity of interconnectors in a Member State is below 30% of its peak load and if the nominal transmission capacity of interconnectors in a Member State is below 30% of its installed renewable generation capacity.

Article 13 – paragraph 4 a (new)
4a. In the energy sector, account will be taken of the need to give priority to urgent projects that contribute to improving the cross-border transmission capacity between Member States that have not attained a level of interconnection of 15% if the price differential in the wholesale market exceeds a threshold of 2EUR/MWh between Member States, regions or bidding zones, if the nominal transmission capacity of interconnectors in a Member State is below 30% of its peak load and if the nominal transmission capacity of interconnectors in a Member State is below 30% of its installed renewable generation capacity.
