Estonia, Latvia to choose constructors for new power connection next spring
"The two countries will hold different tenders, although more or less at the same time. Estonia will hold two tenders: for the Harku-Lihula-Sindi section and for the section between Kilingi-Nõmme and the Estonian-Latvian border," told chief of communications at Elering Ain Koster.
"According to present plans we are to make a decision regarding launching construction with our Latvian colleagues next spring," Koster said. Since both countries are to launch their tenders -- one in Latvia and two in Estonia -- in the fall, their results should be announced at about the same time.
The total cost of the third Estonian-Latvian power connection is about 172 mln euros. In 2014 the European Union decided to cofinance the project with 112 mln euros.
