Energy interconnection
between Lithuania and Poland
Benefits and possibilities
The new power connection between Lithuania and Poland will:
- integrate the Baltic States Power system into the Western European Electricity System
- strenghten the power independance of both countries
- contribute to the development of an integrated EU electricity market
- increase the guarantee of the energy supply continuity
According to the free market rules, the direction of the energy supplies will be determined by the needs of each country. For instance, the possible shortage of energy in the Baltic Sea region, after the decommissioning of the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant, is going to be compensated by the energy import. Moreover, in case of the new resources of power energy, there will be a possibility to export the energy surplus.
The connection contribution will have a significant impact on strenghtening the transmission system as well as its development in the North-East Poland and South Lithuania.
