Lithuania plans to disconnect its power grid from Russia’s to gauge the Baltic country’s ability to sever its last remaining energy link to Moscow.
Network operator Litgrid AB will carry out a test from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday where all connections to Russia’s network will be completely cut. The electricity on the grid will only come from domestic sources and imports from Sweden and Poland.
