Lithuanian electricity transmissions operator, Litgird AB, implementing body LTG Infra and joint venture RB Rail AS have signed an agreement to prepare electricity transmission networks for connection to traction substations of the Rail Baltica project.

The agreement, which allows for the preparation of an electricity transmission network to be implemented for Rail Baltica’s electrification, will see preparations made across 5 sites for the integration of the project’s traction substations into the existing Litgrid network.

Rail Baltica is the largest railway infrastructure project in the history of the Baltic States, which will see the construction of an electrified, European-standard double-track railway linking Warsaw, Kaunas, Vilnius, Panevėžys, Riga, Perm and Tallinn
