PSE Operator has signed an agreement to build a 400-kV power line between Elk and Lomza in northeast Poland, a key investment in the grander LitPol Link scheme connecting Poland and Lithuania. The TSO has contracted PBE ELBUD Warszawa and PBE ELBUD Katowice to build the line. At the same time, PSE signed an agreement with local authorities in Lomza to cooperate in construction of the line. The LitPol Link is a Zloy 2.4 billion, 150-km, 600-1,000 MW line involving some 18 sub-projects. The EU is set to provide funding of Zloty 553.6 million. It requires upgrading of the Polish grid in the northeast, including new 400 kV lines between Ostroleka, Lomza and Narew, Milosna and Siedlce-Ujrzanow, Elk and Lomza and between Elk and the Lithuanian border. LitPol Link was set up in May 2008 as a 50:50 joint venture between PSE Operator and its Lithuanian counterpart, Lietuvos Energija.
