Already 8 February the power system of the Baltic countries will be desynchronized with the Russian and Belarusian power systems and connected to the power system of Central Europe after testing the operation in an isolated mode. This process is involved with a number of risks, and, though the probability of their realization is low, Enterprises should prepare in advance to provide resilience

Already February 8 the energy system of the Baltic countries will be desynchronized with the Russian and Belarusian energy systems and connected to the energy system of Central Europe after testing operation in an isolated mode. This process is involved with a number of risks, and, though the probability of their realization
is low, Enterprises should prepare in advance to provide resilience in crisis situations, recommend the Union of Machine Manufacturers Estonia and Union of Engineers Estonia.
Andri Haran, executive director of the Union of Machine Engineers Estonia Andri Haran, said, In conditions of complex geopolitical situation the probability of interruptions in electricity in the time of transition of the energy system of the Baltic countries from Russian zone to European frequencies will be twenty times higher than usual.
“Nevertheless it does mean that it means thatprobability remains within a few percentages. But, for example, insurance protection is used to reduce risk, the probability of which is even lower, if theirrealizationcouldleadtosignificantfinanciallossesor,worse,tothelongersuspensionofthecoreactivitiesofthecompany.So, thedisconnectionofthepowersystemfromtheRussianfrequencyzoneisagoodpreparationforentrepreneurstoanalyzeriskandpreparethenecessarymeasures,
