Baltic Nations Finalize Decoupling from Russian Electricity Grid

The Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are disconnecting from Russia’s power grid, described as a 'victory for freedom.'
This disconnection is a crucial step toward energy independence, allowing the Baltic States to avoid geopolitical blackmail from Russia.
After the disconnection, the countries will operate in 'isolated mode' for about 24 hours to test their power levels.
The synchronization project for this initiative has cost a total of 1.6 billion euros across the Baltic States and Poland.
