Recital 27

(27) Member States should, where relevant, include in REPowerEU chapters measures having a cross-border or multi-country dimension or effect, as identified in the Commission’s most recent needs assessment, contributing, among other things, to generating European added value. It should also be taken into account that measures carried out in one Member State could have spill-over effects in other Member States. The Commission should facilitate co-operation between Member States as early as possible with a view to developing measures having a cross-border or multi-country dimension or effect to be included in the REPowerEU chapters. Member States should strive to ensure those measures account for an amount that represents at least 30 % of the estimated costs of the measures in the REPowerEU chapter. In addition to measures having a cross-border or multi-country dimension or effect, measures at national level that contribute to securing energy supply in the Union as a whole, in line with the REPowerEU objectives, in particular as regards addressing existing bottlenecks in terms of energy transmission, distribution and storage, as identified in the Commission’s most recent needs assessment, thereby increasing the potential for cross-border flows between Member States, should be considered as having a cross-border or multi-country dimension or effect. Measures reducing dependency on fossil fuels and reducing energy demand should also be considered as having a positive cross-border effect as they free up further capacity or supply for other Member States.
