By the time of the European Commission’s 2017 PCI factsheet on COBRAcable, the interconnector had been formally designated a Project of Common Interest (PCI) under the Northern Seas offshore grid corridor. The factsheet explicitly labels the project as a "Project of Common Interest: COBRAcable" and identifies the corridor as "Northern Seas offshore grid," confirming its PCI status within the EU’s cross-border energy infrastructure programme. The document, published by the European Commission and describing the Denmark–Netherlands HVDC link promoted by TenneT TSO B.V. and Energinet.dk, reflects the project’s inclusion on the EU PCI list in the 2017 PCI cycle.
