The political decision about the synchronization of the Baltic electricity networks with Western Europe, which has been listed as one of the most important energy projects of the decade, should be made in December, representatives of the European Commission (EC), the Joint Research Center and countries of the Baltic Energy Market Interconnection Plan (BEMIP) agreed during a meeting in Vilnius on Thursday, informs LETA/BNS.

"Lithuania, just like the rest of the BEMIP countries, emphasized their expectation that the BEMIP political decision should be made before the end of this year, and the European Commission assured that this would be the case," Rimvydas Stilinis, director for infrastructure at Epso-G energy company holding, told LETA/BNS.

 

In his words, the EC Joint Research Center will present a study of synchronization alternatives in October before a top-level task force of BEMIP countries approves the plans in December. Stilinis said actual synchronization work would be started afterwards.
