Lithuania dismantled almost 100 kilometers of power lines on the border with Russia and Belarus operator Litgrid dismantled 99 kilometers of power lines and 281 pylons. A total of 12 power lines connected to Belarus and six to the Kaliningrad region are planned to be dismantled. The works are expected to be completed in the second half of 2028. In February 2025, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia left the Berel energy ring and connected their energy systems to continental Europe. The authorities of the Kaliningrad region have previously stated that the dismantling of the lines will not affect the region's energy supply: the local energy system operates with a large reserve of capacity.
