Lithuania: Litgrid, the Lithuanian electricity transmission system operator, has successfully completed the expansion of LitPol Link project.

Switzerland, Zurich: ABB has commissioned and handed over the LitPol Link, a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) link connecting the power grids of Lithuania and Poland, to the Lithuanian transmission system operator Litgrid.

First tests of the Lithuanian-Polish interconnection LitPol Link have been carried out, and for the first time electricity flowed through the wires of the power line stretching from Elk in Poland to Alytus in Lithuania, in order to check whether the line is ready for power transmission.
