Nordic-Baltic high-voltage grid interconnector capacity increases 14% ahead of winter peak load
Transmission system operators completed substation compensation upgrades across the 700-megawatt Baltic synchronisation corridor, raising net transfer capacity by 14 percent.
Context
Synchronisation testing between continental European and Baltic transmission grids concluded in October with zero unplanned frequency deviations.
Why it matters
Additional cross-border transfer margin reduces wholesale day-ahead price spreads and strengthens winter reserve margins across northern and eastern Europe.
