(4) According to Article 171 TFEU, one aim of the Trans-European Networks is to achieve the objectives of Article 170 TFEU. In this respect, account should be taken of Decision No 1364/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 September 2006 which lays down guidelines for trans-European energy networks . These Guidelines (TEN-E) have as objectives to support the completion of the Union internal energy market while encouraging the rational production, transportation, distribution and use of energy resources, to reduce the isolation of less-favoured and island regions, to secure and diversify the Union’s energy supplies also through co- operation with third countries, and to contribute to sustainable development and protection of the environment.

(5) The cost-benefit analysis shall at least take into account the following costs: capital expenditure, operational and maintenance expenditure over the technical lifecycle of the project and decommissioning and waste management costs, where relevant. The methodology shall give guidance on discount rates to be used for the calculations. The cost-benefit analysis shall take into account the situation of small and energy isolated Member States with limited number of network users where the market will be unable to self-finance the projects of common interest.
