Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania have officially disconnected from Russia’s electricity grid, linking instead to the European Union’s power system. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Baltic leaders activated the switch at a ceremony in Vilnius, marking a historic step in the region
The Baltic states have severed their decades-old reliance on Russian infrastructure, integrating their electricity networks with the EU. The long-debated transition gained momentum following Moscow’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 and its invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen hailed the move as a significant milestone for Europe’s energy security. The shift also comes amid rising concerns over suspected sabotage of key energy infrastructure, reinforcing efforts to strengthen regional resilience.
By joining the EU’s power grid, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania aim to enhance stability, reduce geopolitical risks, and further align with European energy policies.
