According to the Commission, the estimated investment needs in energy infrastructure up to 2020 amount to EUR 1000000 million, including investment of approximately EUR 200000 million in electricity and gas transmission and storage infrastructures considered to be of European relevance.
Komisjoni sõnul vajab energiataristu kuni 2020. aastani investeeringuid hinnanguliselt 1 triljoni euro ulatuses, millest ligikaudu 200 miljardit euro suurune investeering suunataks Euroopa jaoks olulistesse elektri- ja gaasiülekande- ning -salvestustaristutesse.
