Unfortunately, such surprises are possible while we are still in the ring. of BRELL, ”says D. Kreivys in the report.
Rokas Masiulis, CEO of Litgrid, affirms that the company is prepared to guarantee the reliability of the electrical system both with internal resources and using the connections of the Baltic countries with Poland and Scandinavia.
