Why This Matters

Energy Security & Market Stability

The Baltics were dependent on Russia-controlled electricity. By integrating with the Continental European Synchronous Area via Poland, they now operate under stable, transparent EU energy market rules.

Expanding the European Energy Market

• 1,400 km of new high-voltage lines and 7 new substations enhance regional interconnection.
• Access to a broader pool of European energy suppliers and buyers increases liquidity.
• New balancing and ancillary services open opportunities for energy traders and storage providers.

Unlocking Renewable Energy & Cross-Border Trading

• Baltic power producers, particularly in wind and solar, now gain direct access to the European market.
• The 700 MW Harmony Link interconnector (Lithuania-Poland), set for completion by 2030, will further boost cross-border electricity flows.
• Eliminating carbon-intensive imports improves grid sustainability and resilience.

The Impact on Energy Trading

• Larger Market, Greater Flexibility: Traders now have more arbitrage opportunities across borders.
• New Revenue Streams for Storage: Battery projects can participate in frequency reserves and stability markets.

At Re-Twin Energy, we see this as a turning point for energy trading and storage. As grid complexity increases, digital twin technology and AI-powered forecasting will be key to optimizing market strategies and ensuring efficient trading.
