29. 28 LT-PL interconnection project is listed in the European Commission “Quick start” projects’ list and in the updated TEN Guidelines; €142.8m for interconnections for 2007-2013 are marked in the programme of Ignalina NPP closure; The line route has been defined on the Lithuanian territory ; Lithuanian side is ready to start the implementation of the Project immediately by establishing a project implementation company; Polish side is willing to continue with analysis; In 2006 Polish Government approved the Program on Electricity of Poland where the top priority was given to new interconnection with Germany, strengthening of Polish grid, rehabilitation of 750kV line with Ukraine. Only after that the Program contains the provision on interconnection between Lithuania and Poland, on the condition that the pay- back of the project and EU financial support will be ensured.

36. 35 CONCLUSIONS The new nuclear power plant and new interconnections will enhance security of energy supply in the region and will reduce dependence on one supplier. Cooperation of private and public funding is needed. Interconnections Lithuania-Sweden and Lithuania-Poland will create conditions to integrate Baltic electricity market to Nordic and Central European markets and to be more efficient. Cooperation of private and public investments is needed. Development of cooperation of the Baltic power companies facilitates security of electricity supply and affordable prices
