Baltic and Polish TSOs applied for CEF funding for synchronisation investments
Transmission system operators from the Baltic States: Litgrid (Lithuania), AST (Latvia), Elering (Estonia) and from Poland (PSE), today submitted a joint application for funding from the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF). Four TSOs request a financial support for the investments of Baltic Synchronisation project Phase 2 part II which are crucial for secure and stable synchronisation of Baltic power systems with the Continental European Synchronous Area and desynchronization from the Russian unified power system. The sources will be spent for grid reinforcements, frequency regulation equipment and upgrade of IT control systems.

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.
