Baltic countries notify Russia and Belarus they will exit the Moscow-controlled electricity grid - Lemmy.World

The electricity grid operators of the three Baltic countries on Tuesday officially notified Russia and Belarus that they will exit a 2001 agreement that has kept Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania connected to an electricity transmission system controlled by Moscow.

Well great thing. What will this mean to the Kaliningrad Region of Russia. As it is not directly connected to Russia and landlocked by Lithuania and Poland.
That is an interesting thought exercise. Would they really be cut off, and what would the impacts look like? I don’t know anything about Kaliningrad internal sustainability, but could guess it’s… not good. Time to annex?

Unless you are proposing a genocide (which I hope not), Königsberg is full of russians, which I doubt many countries would want to deal with right now.

It is (or it was) the major military seaport in the baltic… and we are speaking about russia. They most likely generate their own power.

On the long run, i think it should be annexed by the EU as a common land for the whole union.

2,34MW seems pretty low for a nuclear power plan. For comparison, the smallest plant in the US produces 568MW
