In Lithuania
Litgrid - the key structure of electricity system, ensuring logistics of the power flows
In charge of the strategic national assets in power sector
7 200 km of high voltage power lines HVDC technology Asynchronous interconnections with Sweden and Poland 15 interconnections to 3 separate synchronous areas Reliable and sufficient power grid Power system operations 24/7 235 employees
Electricity demand grew by 4.5% in 2016
- Domestic users consumed 27% of the national demand, business and industry - 71%
- 2/3 of consumed electricity was imported
10,47 TWh

- Industry
- Transport
- Agriculture
- Housholds
- Services and other
- Technological grid demand
As local generation falls, import grows
19% of consumed (50% of locally generated) electricity was produced from RES in 2016

Political or business agenda?
- Efforts have to be aligned to prevent electricity from the unsafe construction to get access to Lithuanian/European power market
- What can be done?
How to stop electricity from Astravets NPP
Optimizing the grid in North-Eastern Lithuania
- Upon completion of the projects the Baltic power systems will be ready for isolated operation test and asynchronous operation with IPS/UPS
- Flexible operations of Lithuanian power system
- Up to 12 times lower operations cost $\bullet$
Ilgalaikis sprendimas - elektros sistemų sinchronizacija su kontinentine Europa
7 studies on Baltic power systems integration with the continental Europe since 1998 to 2017. Some decisions made:
- New lines needed for integration will be built only in the territory of EU
- Synchronization a Project of $\bullet$ Common interest
- Final recommendations of EC JRC $\bullet$ study expected shortly
Baltic power system oerations in isolation to be tested 2018/2019
- Operations in the isolated mode - a must before synchronizing to continental European system
- · After successful tests indepth analysis and decisions for preparedness
The LitPol Link interconnection may be sufficient for synchronization
- Thermal* capacity of the double-circuit interconnection Alytus-Elk is 2 x 1 200 MW
- 500 MW HVDC converter station could be switched to Alytus-Grodno line:
- To ensure exchange of system services between Kaliningrad and mainland Russia
- LitPol Link 2 remains in the plans, possibly - after synchronization

General market organization
- Market-based pricing
- Common power market design to ensure the adequacy of the EU's power system
- National capacity markets will not be allowed to disrupt European market design
- Enhanced interconnectivity and cross-border participation
- Better integration of RES
New roles of consumers
Consumers will, amongst others, be entitled to:
816
- Enter into dynamic pricing contracts reflecting spot prices and restricting termination fees
- . enter into agreements with demand response providers and aggregators (without the supplier's consent)
- access and use free of charge comparison tools and smart metering systems
- . rely on detailed billing guidelines and information
Smart Grid
Highly flexible demand-side management for companies and private households
New roles for distribution system operators (DSO)
- Development of 5- to 10-year network development plan
- Development of system services market for:
- Distributed generation
- Demand-side response
- Storage
- Energy efficiency measures
- Limitation to own and develop charging and storage solutions
- Unbundled DSOs must create an "EDSO-E"
Smart Grid
More engagement among transmission system operators
- Cooperation throughout Regional Operational Centers
- Ensure effective participation of all market participants
- Limitations to own and develop storage facilities and assets providing ancillary services
- Cooperation for risk-preparedness in the electricity sector
Additional powers to regulators
- Extension of their tasks and competences with respect:
- to regional co-operation on cross-border issues
- establishment and functioning of Regional Cooperation Centers
- Additional powers to issue (joint) binding decisions on electricity undertakings, carry out investigations and give instructions for dispute settlement, request information and impose penalties
Clean energy for all package will impact all
- Energy-only market is enhanced $\bullet$
- More powers to consumers
- DSO will have to participate in market development
- Competition-based market participation
- RES are no longer exceptional, rather new traditional source of energy

Safety at work first of all
Why safety at work is our topic?
- Safety at work must become a business priority
- 99% of accidents can be prevented
- Prevention is cheaper than consequences of accidents
FAQ
Protection zones of the power lines
- Protections zones are set to protect the lines from accidents, and the people from possible contact with the lines
- Protection zone is a strip of land along the line axis:
- · for 110 kV lines 20 meters on both sides off the furthest wire of the line
- · for 330 kV lines 30 meters on both sides off the furthest wire of the line
Power line capacity predetermines the safety zone
