The Baltic states synchronize their electric power transmission infrastructure with the Continental Europe Synchronous Area (CESA), in objective to disconnect from the Russo-Belarussian agreement to use the IPS/UPS system.
In 2025, the Baltic states joined the Continental Europe power grid, ending their reliance on the Russian-Belarussian IPS/UPS system to strengthen energy security.
On February 9, 2025, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania successfully synchronized their electric grids with the Continental Europe Synchronous Area (CESA). This strategic move ended decades of dependence on the IPS/UPS system managed by Russia and Belarus. The synchronization required extensive technical upgrades, cross-border coordination, and rigorous testing of transmission lines and control systems. Alignment with CESA integrates the Baltic energy markets more closely with the European Union, promoting market competition and investment in renewables. The project enhances regional energy security and resilience against external supply disruptions. It represents a significant step in the Baltic states’ pursuit of political and economic independence from Eastern energy influences.
