Plugged into Europe!
Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania have officially disconnected from the Russian power grid, marking a historic leap towards energy independence.
After preparing for the integration into the EU energy market for almost two decades, the countries now have proper infrastructure linking them to the European continental grid.
This EU-supported initiative allows to fully benefit from the European common energy system.
A bold move of resilience and unity

@EUCommission Awesome, but from a redundancy perspective it would be good for #Latvia to have a direct power cable to a country outside of the Baltic’s. Maybe to Poland, Germany or Sweden.
@stadsplanering @EUCommission the map shows connections with Finland, Sweden, and Poland.
@Aknorals @EUCommission I am sorry if I was unclear. All you said I also see.
I see the power cable going from Finland to Estonia. And from Sweden to Lithuania. There is no power cable going from Latvia to any other country - thus that was why I made my comment.
