According to the report, Litgrid will establish zero capacity for electricity imports from Belarus from the start of electricity production at the Astravas nuclear power plant as part of the implementation of the Law on Measures Needed to Protect Against Power Plant Threats. nuclear power plants in third countries.
On Monday, Litgrid informed market participants about the information received through the Nord Pool energy exchange system. The Lithuanian transmission system operator has previously announced that from the moment electricity is generated and physically delivered to the grid during the tests of the Astrava nuclear power plant, imports from Belarus will be suspended.
“As we have already announced, after receiving information about the start of electricity generation or recording real-time data in the Litgrid System Control Center showing production at the Astravo nuclear power plant, we will immediately determine the capacity of 0 MW for Belarusian commercial electricity flows. We are closely monitoring the situation and are ready to take action, “says Vidmantas Grušas, Litgrid interim CEO.
The Astravo nuclear power plant is currently in a testing phase and commercial production of the first unit is scheduled for 2021. Belarus announced a permit to generate electricity during testing last week.
According to the Law on Emergency Measures, Lithuania will also not provide electricity reserves to Belarus from the start of the Astrava nuclear power plant.
“The Kruonis accumulation hydroelectric power station, which provides an emergency reserve service in Lithuania, is not available to the operator of the Belarusian transmission system and will not be used for the needs of Astravas,” says V. Grušas.
Litgrid was informed of this by the operator of other parties to the BRELL agreement, including Belarus, in July in a letter on the withdrawal of the regulatory emergency reserve agreement between the BRELL operators.
Lithuania itself supplies reserves through connections with Poland and Sweden, as well as on the Baltic market. This summer, Litgrid successfully tested the isolated operation of part of the electrical system, during which the main Lithuanian power plants operated separately from the BRELL ring.
