"The second interconnection is necessary for deeper integration of the Baltic states with European electricity networks – it will help to ensure reliable and smooth operations of the system in the synchronized mode," Karolis Sankovskis, director of Litgrid's Strategic Infrastructure Department, said.
The link is projected to stretch from a new substation in Marijampole to the Lithuanian-Polish border. A separate study in Poland will be conducted by the Polish transmission system operator, PSE.
The feasibility study carried out by Sweden's consultancy Gothia Power in 2013 had identified the second link between Lithuania and Poland as one of the preconditions for synchronization.
The first 500-megawatt LitPol Link interconnection was launched in early 2016. The second interconnection is reported to be of the same capacity.
