Baltic States synchronize power grids with Western Europe

Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia synchronized their power grids with Western Europe on Sunday afternoon, the Baltic News Service reported. 

The three Baltic countries disconnected from the BRELL energy network, which comprises Belarus, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, on Saturday morning and operated in isolated mode until Sunday afternoon. 

They are now linked to the synchronous grid of Continental Europe (UCTE) via the Lithuanian-Polish electricity connection, LitPol Link. 

In synchronization with Western Europe, the three countries will manage the frequency of their power grids independently while coordinating with other nations within UCTE. They will also be responsible for balancing their grids.
