Future vision: possible electricity trade in 2010 (BCEM study, 2003) LATVIA 2700 / 1500 MW 4.7 / 7.5 TWh RUSSIA BELARUS POLAND FINLAND ESTONIA 2 63 0 / 1695 MW 8.5 / 8.0 TWh LITHUANIA 5449 / 2.040 17.390 / 9.701 LITHUANIA 3700 / 2 40 0 MW 10.8 / 12.1 TWh SWEDEN 1000 MW Installed capacity / Max. system load Total production / Total consumption 1000 MW

Conclusions: 

Conclusions strong interconnections, good common generation mix (thermal, nuclear, hydro) are opportunities for a common Baltic electricity market political, legal and regulatory decisions to create a common market are already taken very important to agree among the 3 countries as for the Russia’s role in the Baltic market and finally commercialize all relations with this partner common electricity exchange is necessary exchange of information and coordination of investments in transmission is necessary
