Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia agreed among themselves to refuse to purchase electricity from Russia. The energy company AST announced the decisive step of the Baltic countries.

The largest energy system operators - Estonian Elering, Latvian Augstsprieguma tikls (AST) and Lithuanian Litgrid - have concluded a general agreement according to which they will no longer import electricity from the Russian Federation.

The Latvian company said in a statement that the Baltic electricity market will only be connected to Poland and the Scandinavian countries from June 1. There are several reasons for this decision.. The first is that Baltic operators can no longer make payments through banks that previously served exporters from the Russian Federation due to sanctions imposed against them. In addition, AST stressed that the Baltic states do not want to do business with Russian companies..

The message of the Estonian company Elering says that from the beginning of June, local operators will continue to use only the spare capacity located in the Baltic countries and other Nordic countries..
