An agreement on principles of the synchronized operation of the power grids of Belarus, Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia may be signed this summer. The statement was made by Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak after the Russia-EU summit in Yekaterinburg on 4 June, BelTA has learned.

The Minister reminded that the draft agreement had been discussed for a year already. In his words, the sides have agreed that a country will have to warn its partners at least 10 years in advance in order to leave the synchronous operation mode. Besides, procedures for building new power installations in the five countries have been agreed.

Alexander Novak said that technical matters relevant for the statutory regulation of day-to-day centralized control, reserve capacities, and power grid throughput records have yet to be addressed. These matters will be up to the electrical companies of the five countries to agree.
