Less than half of the funding from the PCI list is planned for electrification

Omissions

• The claim does not specify that this refers to the 6th PCI list adopted in December 2025; data about specific funding amounts per category was not found in the available sources, only project counts; the definition of 'electrification' vs 'electricity infrastructure' is ambiguous - hydrogen projects could be considered part of the electrification pathway; source is a legal briefing document (Clifford Chance) which cites the Commission data rather than the original Commission source.
