The European Commission has prioritised two new electricity interconnections between France and Spain as part of a group of eight designated “Energy Highways”, forming the foundation of a pan-European network project. The goal is to raise the France–Iberian Peninsula exchange capacity to 8 GW by 2040, up from around 2.5 GW currently, to improve renewable energy integration and enhance energy security.
