ANNEX VIITHE UNION LIST OF PROJECTS OF COMMON INTEREST AND PROJECTS OF MUTUAL INTEREST ("UNION LIST"),referred to in Article 3(4)A.PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN ESTABLISHING THE UNION LIST(1)Clusters of PCIs and PMIsSome PCIs form part of a cluster because of their interdependent, potentially competing or competing nature. The following types of clusters of PCIs/PMIs are established:a cluster of interdependent PCIs/PMIs is defined as a "Cluster X, including the following PCIs/PMIs:". Such cluster has been formed to identify PCIs/PMIs that are all needed to address the same bottleneck across country borders and provide synergies if implemented together. In this case, all the PCIs/PMIs have to be implemented to realise the EU-wide benefits;a cluster of potentially competing PCIs/PMIs is defined as a "Cluster X, including one or more of the following PCIs:". Such cluster reflects an uncertainty around the extent of the bottleneck across country borders. In this case, not all the PCIs/PMIs included in the cluster have to be implemented. It is left to the market to determine whether one, several or all PCIs/PMIs are to be implemented, subject to the necessary planning, permit and regulatory approvals. The need for the PCIs/PMIs shall be reassessed in a subsequent PCIs/PMIs identification process, including with regard to the capacity needs; anda cluster of competing PCIs/PMIs is defined as a "Cluster X, including one of the following PCIs/PMIs:". Such cluster addresses the same bottleneck. However, the extent of the bottleneck is more certain than in the case of a cluster of potentially competing PCIs/PMIs, and therefore, it has been determined that only one PCI/PMI has to be implemented. It is left to the market to determine which PCI/PMI is to be implemented, subject to the necessary planning, permit and regulatory approvals. Where necessary, the need for PCIs/PMIs shall be reassessed in a subsequent PCIs/PMIs identification process.a generic corridor reflects certain significant infrastructure needs that have been identified which could not be adequately addressed by the submitted projects.All PCIs/PMIs are subject to the rights and obligations established under Regulation (EU) 2022/869.(2)Treatment of substations and compressor stationsSubstations and back-to-back electricity stations and compressor stations are considered as parts of PCIs/PMIs if they are geographically located on transmission lines or next to pipelines, as the case may be. Substations, back-to-back stations and compressor stations are considered as stand-alone PCIs and are explicitly listed on the Union list if their geographical location is different from transmission lines or pipelines as the case may be. They are subject to the rights and obligations laid down in Regulation (EU) 2022/869.(3)Non-eligible parts of the PCI/PMI projectsSome PCI/PMI projects include one or more non-eligible investments within their composition. These investments, listed below, are not to be considered as part of the Union List.Section Guitiriz – Zamora (part of PCI 9.1.3)Section Saint Martin de Crau – Cruzy (part of PCI of 9.1.5)Section Freiburg – Offenbach (part of PCI 9.2.1)Section Limburg area and its connection to the North-South backbone in East of NL (part of PCI 9.6)Ship (part of PCI 9.13.1)Section Poggio Renatico – Gries Pass (part of PCI 10.1.1)Section Karperi – Komotimi (part of PCI 10.3.1)Section Kiruna – Lulea (part of PCI 11.1)4 internal sections of the Finnish pipeline Kyröskoski; Imatra; Loviisa, through Kotka and Porvoo through Tolkinnen (geographical references are approximate and solely given as indications) (part of PCI 11.2)Pipeline in LT connecting to Klaipeda (part of PCI 11.2)Section Magdeburg – Potsdam (geographical references are approximate and solely given as indications) (part of PCI 11.2)Paperless workflow management, voicebot and chatbot, workforce management automation, joint auctions SK-UA and assets for tourism cave (part of PCI 12.3)(4)Projects that changed their PCI number compared to the previous Union listProjects part of the previous Union list under the repealed Regulation (EU) No 347/2013 change their PCI number due to reordering or to newly added priority corridors in the Regulation (EU) 2022/869. This relates to some projects part of the following categories: electricity, smart electricity grids and CO2 networks. In this case, the previous PCI number is mentioned, for information purpose only, under the project name.B.THE UNION LIST OF PROJECTS OF COMMON INTEREST AND PROJECTS OF MUTUAL INTEREST(1)North-South electricity interconnections in Western Europe (NSI West Electricity)Projects of common interest developed in the region:
