Today is another historic day for Estonia and European integration. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have now disconnected from Russia’s IPS/UPS power grid system. The three countries are now operating independently in island mode before synchronising with the continental European grid tomorrow. Estonia has thoroughly prepared for this transition and has enough energy reserves before the new synchronisation begins.
The connection of the Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian power grids to the rest of continental Europe via Poland is scheduled to begin around 2 p.m on Sunday. The transition will have no impact on consumers, and all systems are stable and secure.
Joining the Continental European Power Grid is considered a milestone for Estonia, equally as important as joining NATO and the Schengen area.
