BC, Vilnius, 12.09.2016.Print version
The price of electricity in Nord Pool Spot's Lithuanian bidding area last week averaged 35.5 euros per megawatt-hours, up 7 % from a week earlier, but down 15% from a year earlier, Litgrid said on Monday, reports LETA/BNS.

"This week, a higher supply in the Baltic Sea region will be ensured by the Forsmark (Sweden) and Loviisa (Finland) nuclear power plants' units, which are resuming operations after scheduled maintenance," the power transmission system operator said in a press release.

 

"Planned maintenance on the Lithuania-Poland power interconnection LitPol Link, the first since its launch, will be carried out on Sept. 12 through 18. Also, the capacity of Estonia-Finland power interconnections will be limited until Thursday due to maintenance on Estonia's 330-kV line," it said.

 

Lithuania last week imported 72% of its electricity. Some 27% of electricity imports came from Sweden, 40% from Latvia, Estonia and Finland, and one-third from third countries.
