The adoption of a positive decision will open the way for the Baltic
and Polish transmission system operators to next week submit an application to
the European Network of Transmission System Operators (ENTSO-E) for the
extension of the Continental Europe Synchronous Area.
Lithuania's Litgrid, Latvia's AST and Estonia's Elering on October 11 of 2018 will
submit an application to the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) for 432
mln euros in funding for the project's first stage.
The deadline for the completion of the synchronization of the
Baltic power grid with the continental European network decided in an
agreement signed in June by the Baltic countries, Poland and the European
Commission is 2025 and it will be carried out through a 1,000-megawatt
alternating current LitPol Link
between Lithuania and Poland and a 700-megawatt direct current undersea cable.
In order to ensure energy security, other stabilization mechanisms, like
synchronization compensators and electricity system stabilizers, will be
established.
The total estimated cost of the project is 1.4 bln euros, of which 75% will be covered by the European Union.
The synchronization is expected to be completed in 2025.
