This weekend, the #BalticStates #Estonia, #Latvia, and #Lithuania will disconnect from the #Brell power grid that has connected them to #Russia and #Belarus for the last 80 years. The will connect to the synchronous grid of Continental #Europe - the largest synchronous power grid in the world. This has been planned since 2018 and was affirmed by a decision of the #EU in 2023.

During the procedure,all power lines to the Russian grid will be severed. The Baltic States will become a power island for about one day. During this time, their regional grid will be synchronized to the Eurpean grid before it can be connected to it through a new power line between #Lithuania and #Poland.

The operation is not without risk. In addition to technical challenges, #sabotage from #Russia is expected. The Baltic States have set up their military to protect their critical power infrastructure over the weekend.

As a result of the process, #Kaliningrad will also be cut off from the Russian grid and become a power island for the foreseeable future.
