Lithuanian energy minister to invite Latvia to continue talks on electricity trade with Russia 2021-01-13 LETA/BNS/TBT Staff
VILNIUS - Lithuania’s energy minister will soon invite his Latvian counterpart to continue talks on a trilateral methodology of electricity trade with Russia as Lithuania seeks to completely bar market access for electricity from the Belarusian nuclear power plant (NPP) in Astravyets.
The issue of the methodology would also be put forward at February meetings of the Baltic Council of Ministers currently presided over by Lithuania, Dainius Kreivys said.
“Our grid operator, Litgrid, has proposed a new [methodology] and we will ask for Latvia’s and Estonia’s opinion about that methodology. Also, my letter to Latvia’s minister inviting him to cooperate in working out a new trilateral methodology will be issued this week,” he told the reporters after the government’s meeting on Wednesday.
