Baltic electricity network desynchronization attempt could happen in summer 2019

BC, Vilnius, 25.09.2017.Print version
According to a study by the international consultation company Tractebel Engineering, it is possible and reasonable to carry out an attempt to desynchronize the electricity network of the Baltic countries from the Soviet-era BRELL electricity ring in summer 2019, informs LETA/BNS.

It will be difficult but possible to carry out the attempt to isolate the Baltic electricity system if the necessary technical suggestions are taken into account, the summary of Tractebel's study said. During the attempt it is important to pay attention to the level of the maximum energy need and the minimal production capacity rates.

 

No significant legal or regulatory restrictions for the execution of the attempt were identified.

 

The survey recommends that the desynchronization attempt be carried out in summer 2019 during an 18-hour window from 10 p.m. to 4 p.m. the next day.

 

Tractebel Engineering S.A. carried out the study from January to August. The study was commissioned by the Lithuanian electricity transmission operator Litgrid, Latvian electricity transmission operator AST and Estonian electricity transmission operator Elering. The study analyzed the technical, legal and economical impacts of the desynchronization of the electricity network.
