Baltic Energy Market Interconnection Plan GRIP 2017

Low with PCIs in Baltic states (LT, LV, EE) This infrastructure case includes BEMIP projects listed in 2017 TYNDP under the “Low Infrastructure Level” scenario, meaning that the existing infrastructures and infrastructure projects with FID status (whatever their PCI status is) and also all projects with PCI status in the Baltic States. More specifically, the projects with PCI status in the Baltic States are presented in the Table below. In this infrastructure case, it should be noted that the pipeline connections between Poland and Lithuania (GIPL) and Estonia and Finland (Balticconnector) contain only the part within the Baltic States and these projects will not increase any import capacities to or from the Baltic States. The intention of BEMIP GRIP was not to mod- el the case as it was done, but instead to include the Polish section of GIPL and the Finnish section of Balticconnector in the infrastructure case. Because of this error, the analysis results in this scenario do not contribute additional information outside the Baltic States. Due to time and resource limitations, ENTSOG was not able to perform the analysis again with the intended infrastructure case.
