Energy grids are crucial in ensuring energy security and resilience in our modern society. They form the backbone of the energy infrastructure, responsible for transmitting and distributing electricity. This reliability is instrumental for maintaining energy security, as disruptions can have far-reaching economic and societal consequences. The planned synchronisation of the Baltics with the European grid in 2025 will mark a new era and give the Baltic states access to a larger and more diverse electricity market, increasing opportunities for cross-border electricity trading and open up a new market that will promote innovation, new services and technologies.
