Lithuania has completed the dismantling of its cross-border power lines connecting to Russia's Kaliningrad region, as confirmed by the national electricity transmission operator Litgrid on September 18th, 2025, marking the final severing of electrical ties that had linked Lithuania to Russia and Belarus for 65 years. This action follows Lithuania's synchronization with Europe's power grid earlier this year. The dismantling process, which commenced in early February 2025, was reported on X by nexta_tv, signifying a definitive separation from the Soviet-era energy system. Lithuania's disconnection from Belarus via these lines is planned for 2027. Separately, a four-month public comment period is underway regarding an initiative for the national spatial plan for Jek 2, according to the ministry. The regulatory process involves selecting a supplier, developing a financial model, and creating a personnel plan before a final decision can be made.
