Baltic balancing roadmap
Since 1st of January 2018, Baltic transmission system operators – Elering AS, AS "Augstsprieguma tikls" and Litgrid AB (Baltic TSOs) operate a common model for balancing of power systems of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. To accommodate this, the common Baltic coordinated balancing area was introduced and the common Baltic balancing market for exchange of balancing energy in form of frequency restoration reserves with manual activation (mFRR) was established. In coming years significant changes in Baltic balancing model are foreseen in order for it to be compliant with the requirements of European regulations and ensure Baltic TSOs compliancy with Central European Synchronous Area (CESA) rules and agreements after synchronization with the networks of CESA.
