3 Directive 2014/94 on AF infrastructure Up to date: NPF received from: Czech Republic and Slovakia

4 The Connecting Europe Facility for

5 Structure, state of play and green credentials Total CEF budget: billion 22.4 billion for grants (blending with FIs) SRCR RRI&SRCR 1.55 billion for Financial Instruments (CEF-Debt Instrument)

6 Connecting Europe Facility (CEF - ) for transport decarbonisation Regulation (EU) on TEN-T guidelines 1315/2013: Article 33 (a-d) defines what CEF can fund in the area of "innovation and new technologies", notably: "(a) support and promote the decarbonisation of transport through transition to innovative and sustainable transport technologies. REGULATION (EU) No 1316/2013 establishing the CEF: Article 4-2 (b) "ensuring sustainable and efficient transport systems in the long run, with a view to preparing for expected future transport flows, as well as enabling all modes of transport to be decarbonised through transition to innovative lowcarbon and energy-efficient transport technologies, while optimising safety. "

7 Deploying sustainable and efficient transport More than 300 million in CEF funding, which resulted in a total investment of more than 600 million in million invested to deploy 650 additional supply points for alternative fuel along the TEN-T road network by CEF funding : 107 million 175 rail projects EU investment n: 14.6 billion for % of the CEF transport funding awarded.

8 Synergies with H2020 Pilot demonstration projects under TEN-T/CEF to be scaled up with financial instruments SRCR RRI&SRCR

9 Funding opportunities: 2016 CEF Calls

10 2016 CEF Calls 2016 calls: indicative budget available Multi-Annual Work Programme (MAP) : million 650 million under the General envelope million under the Cohesion envelope Annual Work Programme (AP) 440 million 190 million under the General envelope 250 million under the Cohesion envelope CEF synergy work programme 40 million Blending CEF grants and financial instruments

11 Funding Objective 2: Innovation and New Technologies Point in the work programme: Deployment of innovation and new technology actions in all transport modes, according to the TEN-T Guidelines, Art.33 (a to d). MAP 2016 call (no annual call, only Core Network eligible!) Budget: Cohesion: 59.5 million General: 80 million Support rate: Studies with Pilot deployment (no paper studies): 50% Works: 20% Cohesion Countries (Studies & Works!) : 85%

12 Points of attention! Mobile equipment (i.e. concerning vehicles)- Only for studies with integrated pilot deployment! : financial difference between a conventional solution and the use of a new technology in a vehicle (ship, car, truck, plane, train ) priced separately in the grant application up to 10% for road equipment, 30% for ships and rail mobile equipment 5 years in the EU Scrubbers are not eligible Mobile infrastructure (i.e. concerning moving parts of infrastructure: e.g. innovative cranes, innovative reach-stackers, innovative fuel supply vehicles, etc Interface between infrastructure and vehicles: e.g. the telematics link, the charging cable, adaptors, etc

13 2016 CEF Calls Indicative timetable

14 EU projects financed under innovation priority in TEN-T and CEF

15 Alternative fuels in Slovenia

16 EU's investment needs in transport CEF remaining 4.12 billion FI 1.35 billion Transfer of 1b from FI to Grant budget Grants 2.77 billion Calls billion FI remaining 350 million Call BLENDING 1 billion Grants remaining 870 million Across the EU, the demand for investments is much higher than the available funding : EUR 700 bn investment needed on the TEN-T until Promoters must find new ways to finance infrastructure-> financial instruments (CEF debt, EFSI )

17 Solutions More systemic use of innovative financing EIB target: at least 40% of EFSI 2.0 financing environmentallyfriendly modes (e.g. railways, alternative fuels ) CEF & EFSI financial instruments should be considered for projects with potential revenues Advisory Hub for advisory and technical support Blending EIB tools and CEF grants (or ESI Funds) is a possibility, with CEF grants to support the remaining funding gap

18 2016 CEF Blending Call (1/3) Context and objectives 2016 CEF Calls Boost the EFSI transport pipeline and attract private finance Approach (timeline, duration, processes, criteria etc.) Blending 1 billion of CEF grants with EFSI financing Expected launch before end 2016, with a longer submission period

19 2016 CEF Blending Call (2/3) Project preparation: 2016 CEF Calls A reasonable level of development will be expected Associated documentation should be submitted as part of the call Technical support to be available DO NOT WAIT: begin preparing now

20 2016 CEF Blending Call (3/3) Eligibility of projects: Works, not studies Grant eligibility and amount in line with the CEF Regulation Projects will need to be structured to receive EIB/private finance, with: Identified borrower Solid business case 2016 CEF Calls Revenue stream to support loan repayment Grant level to be justified through cost-benefit analysis

21 Example : Port of Calais - combined use of CEF grants and financial instruments

23 Driver for Financial Instruments A financial instrument is a mechanism to address specific risks that are deterring promoters and investors from investing in projects Instruments allow the public sector to encourage private sector involvement Projects need to be conceived to involve private sector Laws and regulations need to be clear Main approvals should be in place Specified in output terms Risk allocation clear Not just PPPs. Regulated concessions; Sector interventions

24 Identifying Projects for Financial Instruments Project identification: Focused on project maturity/readiness/level of preparation Key features of financeable projects: Revenue-generating potential Affordability of the project to users/public authority Performance based outputs Project where the commercial, legal and political risks are quantifiable Bankable project based on realistic projections of both costs and revenues Technical assistance to projects with potential sector Sector: Airports, roads, rail, ports, locks and canals, logistic platforms, alternative fuels, fleets Activities: Construction, rehabilitation, efficiency improvements, vehicles

25 Clean Facility (CTF) To be officially launched 01/12/2016 Current bus fleets and plans (3IBS survey) RRI&SRCR

26 Paris Declaration on Electro- Climate Change and call to action: Call for joint efforts at least 20 percent of all road vehicles to be electrically powered by 2030 European Strategy for Low-Emission Mobility Underlines relevance of speeding up clean (alternative fueled) buses From demonstration to deployment: the new Clean Facility

27 CLEAN ALTERNATIVELY FUELLED BUSES The Commission is willing to push forward a deployment initiative on clean (alternative fuels) buses and related infrastructures in urban areas, by: Supporting work on major procurement principles between cities, operators & manufacturers and create a platform for matching supply and demand; Supporting a pipeline of projects through better use of existing funds (European Structural Investment Funds), Technical Assistance Facilities (European Investment Advisory Hub, Jaspers and ELENA) Accelerating Investment: Setting up a Clean Facility jointly with the EIB, with emphasis on clean (alternative fuels) buses.
