Lithuania-Poland interconnection is a planned 1000 MW electricity link between the Baltic transmission system (part of the IPS/UPS system) and the UCTE (Continental Europe) transmission system. The interconnection will consist:
- In Lithuania:
- 53 km double circuit 330 kV line Kruonis-Alytus
- 1000 MW back-to-back converter in Alytus
- 48 km double circuit 400 kV line from Alytus to the Lithuania-Poland border
- In Poland:
According to the pre-feasibility study the cost of interconnection will be about 400 million € and together with Poland-Germany and Poland-Czech Republic upgrades up to 600 million €. Lithuania-Poland interconnection has listed as the EU TEN-E project. The interconnection would be operational in 2012.
The agreement to establish a joint interconnection operator between Lietuvos Energija AB and Polish PSE-Operator S.A. was signed on 8 December 2006 in Vilnius.
