In a bid to tackle uncompetitive energy prices and bolster security, the European Union is prioritizing the removal of eight critical power grid bottlenecks, as announced by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. This initiative, termed "energy highways," aims to enhance interconnections across member states, addressing issues that have led to significant power shortages and price spikes. Key projects include enhancing connections between the Iberian Peninsula and France, integrating Cyprus with continental Europe, and developing new hydrogen corridors.
