Exactly 70 years ago in October, 1945, the Lithuanian power system was put into operation. The operation of generators at the Kaunas and Vilnius power plants was synchronized after a power line connecting the power plants had been installed, and the balance between power generation and consumption was maintained by the central system control centre.
Until then, the first system control centres in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda and Šiauliai had been only used to control the electricity supply of the district. There was simply no need for a common system control centre, as each power plant only supplied electricity to its respective district.
