Electricity network development projects lay the foundation for synchronisation with Europe

Having implemented the most important strategic electricity interconnection projects that connected Lithuanian and Poland with Sweden’s electricity systems, Litgrid has now focused on the national strategic goal of leading the Lithuanian electricity system towards synchronous operation with the networks of continental Europe.

The reconstruction of the transformer substation of the Ignalina nuclear power plant is one of the projects mentioned above.

The reconstruction of the transformer substation at the Ignalina nuclear power station is planned to continue till autumn 2021, and the the renewed substation will be completely ready for synchronisation with the networks of continental Europe.

A new 330 kV electricity transmission line will be built from the Elektrėnai Power Plant to Vilnius.

Aiming to ensure safe electricity transmission to Vilnius and in preparation for synchronisation with the networks of Western Europe, reinforcement of the Vilnius transformer substation and the construction of a new electricity transmission line have been planned.
