Estlink Tie Improves Baltic States System

摘要

Competition and security motivate connection between Estonia and Finland. THE POWER SYSTEM IN THE BALTIC STATES WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED AS PART OF THE FORMER USSR POWER SYSTEM and, therefore, the Baltic States system is interconnected to that system. These interconnections are power corridors for bulk-energy exports and imports to the Baltic power system. As there were no interconnectors with other member states of the European Union (EU), the Baltic States have been electrically islanded and solely dependent on the Russian interconnected power system.
