Recital 6
(6) An important objective of this Programme is to deliver increased synergies between the transport, energy and digital sector. For that purpose, the Programme should provide for the adoption of cross-sectoral work programmes that could address specific intervention areas, for instance as regards connected and automated mobility or alternative fuels. The cross-sectoral work programmes should foster the creation of synergies between the desired sectors. In addition, the Programme should allow, within each sector, the possibility to consider eligible some ancillary components pertaining to another sector, where such an approach improves the socio-economic benefit of the investment. Synergies between sectors should be incentivized through the award criteria for the selection of actions.

Recital 20 a (new)
(20a) The inclusion of electricity and smart grid projects in the list of projects of common interest, as a prerequisite for access to funding under the Programme, is characterised by restrictive eligibility criteria, an excessive number of conditions that need to be met simultaneously and complex procedures. The list of projects of common interest should further reflect the central role of smart grids in the energy transition and support from the Programme should help to overcome the funding gaps which are currently hampering investments in the large scale deployment of smart grid technology, which has not yet become economically sustainable given that it is based solely on tariff remuneration. To that end, barriers to the inclusion of smart grids on the list of projects of common interest should be removed as soon as possible.
