Couldn't the Baltic states switch synchronous zones by disconnecting from the Russian grid, blacking out and then bootstrapping using the European grid? That would break continuity of service and require a black start (far from ideal), but that's a contingency they must've thought of in case they suddenly got cut off from Russia and Belarus for some reason.
- janosdebugs 3y agoAs I understood from the discussions last winter here in Austria, a black start is not a single switch, you need to start on one side of a country (where you have power or blackstart-capable plants) and then work your way through the grid. That takes a while and you don't want citizens without power even for a few hours if you can help it.
