RIGA, July 16 (Xinhua) -- The power transmission system operators (TSOs) of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia have notified Russia of their intention to withdraw from the agreement that integrates their power grids with the Russia-controlled IPS/UPS system.

According to Latvian TSO Augstsprieguma Tikls (AST), this transition will take effect in February 2025, when the Baltic states will decouple from the Russian and Belarusian grids to join the Continental Europe Synchronous Area.
