Russians will buy gas in Europe. Again
Preamble. I read an interesting article in politico
I quote in full
"The Baltic states are finally severing their energy ties with Russia. The Soviet-era disconnection was accompanied by a campaign of intimidation - but it is Moscow that may find itself in a precarious position.
Europe's Baltic states have disconnected from the Russian grid for the first time in history, ending a decades-long unstable energy partnership with Moscow.
Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia will connect to the EU power grid on Sunday, some 20 years after joining the bloc and cementing their westward trajectory. The Soviet grid will still cover Russia and Belarus.
The move came amid a barrage of disinformation that local leaders said was intended to sow fear of repercussions.
A few days before the blackout, leaflets printed in Russian appeared in apartment buildings across the region, warning that "there will be no electricity" and urging residents to buy candles. In fact, the Baltic states have not bought electricity from Russia or Belarus in recent years, meaning that no blackouts or price increases are expected.
"The Russians have been threatening our electricity supply for years," said Ingrida Šimonite, who was Lithuania's prime minister until December and led preparations for the switchover. "It was the last, sad link to our past, which was still partly controlled by people from Moscow."
The three countries, which were occupied by Soviet troops as part of a pact with Nazi Germany in 1940 and gained independence in the 1990s, will operate in isolation for a day before synchronising with the European grid. This will allow them to import electricity from EU countries via Poland if necessary.
EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen said the switch would "strengthen security of supply" for the entire 27-nation bloc.
"This is a strong signal that the EU stands together," he said on the eve of the switch. "The EU has invested a significant amount of money in this project - more than €1.2 billion. It is projects like this that make our Energy Union stronger."
A growing concern in the Baltic Sea region as it enters a new era is the potential sabotage of submarine power cables running nearby. In the last few months alone, several oil tankers have dragged their anchors through these cables, raising fears that Russia may be trying to disrupt the process.
"Since February of this year, we have seen a different approach from the Russian special services," said Vilmantas Vitkauskas, head of Lithuania's National Crisis Management Centre, a government agency that deals with emergency management and resilience building. "Instead of so-called 'soft measures', such as disinformation or cyber, they have moved to more active actions."
According to Mr Vitkauskas, allowing Russian-linked vessels unfettered access to the Baltic Sea threatens critical energy infrastructure.
He suggested "concentrating the passage in the sea where these ships can cross" to make it "easier for us to control it." Gravel or other materials could reinforce submarine cables in the area.
"The grid operators are confident that they have done everything necessary to make this project work without problems, even though there are some problems with the Baltic Sea infrastructure," said Marek Kohv, a former Estonian military officer who now heads research at the International Centre for Defence and Security in Tallinn. "However, Russian disinformation is trying to play on people's fears, and some ordinary citizens are concerned that they will have to stock up on water and canned food," he added. "In fact, the real danger is this information operation, not the synchronisation with the European grid."
Experts say that Russia's own exclave of Kaliningrad - an area slightly larger than Montenegro, sandwiched between Lithuania and Poland on the Baltic Sea coast - may actually face the most serious challenges.
And the cream is a bit of reality for Russians.
Kaliningrad region, after the Baltic states were disconnected from the Russian power grid, switched to an autonomous power supply regime. According to the Russian Ministry of Energy, the total capacity of the region's power plants is 1.88 GW, which is more than twice the peak energy consumption of the region. In 2016-2020, four new thermal power plants were built in the region, two of which are gas-fired with backup diesel fuel and one is coal-fired. In other words, from a mathematical point of view, the existing generating capacities of the Kaliningrad region are capable of meeting its energy needs even during peak periods.
But there is a nuance: both coal and gas are transported by sea. By the Baltic Sea, where submarine cables are strangely torn
Kaliningrad has traditionally been supplied with gas through the Minsk-Kilnius-Kaunas-Kaliningrad gas pipeline, which passes through Lithuania. However, due to tensions with the West, in 2019, Russia commissioned a floating liquefied natural gas terminal, Marshal Vasilevsky, located in the Baltic Sea, which can receive LNG from tankers and convert it into gas for local needs. The plant has a capacity of 174,000 cubic metres per day.
The Russians are well aware that Lithuania can cut off gas supplies at any time, so they have double-checked: they have a terminal and an underground storage facility that was supposed to be completed in 2024 (I don't know if it was) and was supposed to provide gas to the entire Kaliningrad region for 4 months in case of an emergency.
The gas supply chain looks like this:
LNG is delivered to Kaliningrad by sea tankers -> regasification is carried out at the Marshal Vasilevsky floating terminal -> gas is supplied to the local gas transmission system.
And most importantly, the gas is pumped into the storage facility along the bottom of the Baltic Sea
That is, there is no Kaliningrad without the sea
The situation with coal was the same, but before the sanctions:
Kaliningrad region, to the Baltic thermal power plant, which can run on coal, coal was supplied mainly by sea from the Russian ports of Ust-Luga, Murmansk and Primorsk, and then went to the port of Klaipeda. However, now all of this is under sanctions, so shipping coal by sea is not an option at all
That leaves only the sea. Where submarine cables tear themselves apart
Next. About the fascists from Denmark, who have a real possibility of harming the tankers supplying gas to Kaliningrad
Denmark controls the straits connecting the Baltic Sea to the North Sea, in particular the Skagerrak and Kattegat. Restricting or banning Russian tankers from passing through these straits on the part of Denmark would make it much more difficult or impossible to supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Kaliningrad.
Moreover, there are other countries that are not averse to making life in Kaliningrad unbearable - the route of LNG tankers to Kaliningrad basically passes through the territorial waters of Sweden, Poland and Lithuania - Russian tankers must cross the territorial waters of at least four countries, depending on the specific route.
The Marshal Vasilevsky, which is a floating LNG storage and regasification terminal that does not usually call at ports, is a little more complicated - it receives LNG directly from tankers in open water, regasifies it and delivers it to the onshore infrastructure via subsea pipelines. But... but the capacity is too small - it will not be enough in case of an emergency
And the most interesting thing is that the EU sanctions imposed on Russia do not apply to LNG supplies. However, the use of European ports for the transit of Russian gas may be restricted or banned.
And this will happen as early as March 2025, as the EU plans to ban the transshipment of Russian LNG in its ports, which could affect gas supplies through Klaipeda to Kaliningrad:
In the 14th package of sanctions, the European Union has introduced a ban on the use of its ports for transshipment of Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) destined for third countries.
This ban will come into effect after a 9-month transition period, i.e. from 1 March 2025.
What we have in the end. Kaliningrad is going to be a lot of fun in September. So I would advise you to sell your property to Russians (it's not your land, for one thing)
In fact, we are seeing the formation of a second Transnistria, but the difference is that there is no Moldova on the side to help out.
No, we're not talking about a total blackout in the Kaliningrad region or fights to the death for bread (although I'm in favour of that). Most likely, Russians will be forced to buy gas (don't laugh) to supply Kaliningrad
According to minimal estimates in money, this is about 2.24 billion cubic metres x 600 euros per cubic metre of gas or 1.5 (1.48) billion dollars a year. This is the money that the Russians will not be able to spend on the war, which is quite good - add to this the recent stab in the back from Denmark for more than 6 billion a year and we have the amount of 7.5 billion that Russia will stupidly burn
And that's if nothing happens in the sea of emergency. But for some reason I think that Lithuania, Poland, Denmark, and Sweden will have their say and will do everything possible to ensure that Russian pensioners eat less.
Moral. Deliberately damaging EU submarine cables is not always healthy. This is especially true for residents of Kaliningrad and the region - get ready to live in the cold and with power outage schedules as early as September 2025

Russians will buy gas in Europe. Again
Preamble. I read an interesting article in politico
I quote in full
"The Baltic states are finally severing their energy ties with Russia. The Soviet-era disconnection was accompanied by a campaign of intimidation - but it is Moscow that may find itself in a precarious position.
Europe's Baltic states have disconnected from the Russian grid for the first time in history, ending a decades-long unstable energy partnership with Moscow.
Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia will connect to the EU power grid on Sunday, some 20 years after joining the bloc and cementing their westward trajectory. The Soviet grid will still cover Russia and Belarus.
The move came amid a barrage of disinformation that local leaders said was intended to sow fear of repercussions.
A few days before the blackout, leaflets printed in Russian appeared in apartment buildings across the region, warning that "there will be no electricity" and urging residents to buy candles. In fact, the Baltic states have not bought electricity from Russia or Belarus in recent years, meaning that no blackouts or price increases are expected.
"The Russians have been threatening our electricity supply for years," said Ingrida Šimonite, who was Lithuania's prime minister until December and led preparations for the switchover. "It was the last, sad link to our past, which was still partly controlled by people from Moscow."
The three countries, which were occupied by Soviet troops as part of a pact with Nazi Germany in 1940 and gained independence in the 1990s, will operate in isolation for a day before synchronising with the European grid. This will allow them to import electricity from EU countries via Poland if necessary.
EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen said the switch would "strengthen security of supply" for the entire 27-nation bloc.
"This is a strong signal that the EU stands together," he said on the eve of the switch. "The EU has invested a significant amount of money in this project - more than €1.2 billion. It is projects like this that make our Energy Union stronger."
A growing concern in the Baltic Sea region as it enters a new era is the potential sabotage of submarine power cables running nearby. In the last few months alone, several oil tankers have dragged their anchors through these cables, raising fears that Russia may be trying to disrupt the process.
"Since February of this year, we have seen a different approach from the Russian special services," said Vilmantas Vitkauskas, head of Lithuania's National Crisis Management Centre, a government agency that deals with emergency management and resilience building. "Instead of so-called 'soft measures', such as disinformation or cyber, they have moved to more active actions."
According to Mr Vitkauskas, allowing Russian-linked vessels unfettered access to the Baltic Sea threatens critical energy infrastructure.
He suggested "concentrating the passage in the sea where these ships can cross" to make it "easier for us to control it." Gravel or other materials could reinforce submarine cables in the area.
"The grid operators are confident that they have done everything necessary to make this project work without problems, even though there are some problems with the Baltic Sea infrastructure," said Marek Kohv, a former Estonian military officer who now heads research at the International Centre for Defence and Security in Tallinn. "However, Russian disinformation is trying to play on people's fears, and some ordinary citizens are concerned that they will have to stock up on water and canned food," he added. "In fact, the real danger is this information operation, not the synchronisation with the European grid."
Experts say that Russia's own exclave of Kaliningrad - an area slightly larger than Montenegro, sandwiched between Lithuania and Poland on the Baltic Sea coast - may actually face the most serious challenges.
And the cream is a bit of reality for Russians.
Kaliningrad region, after the Baltic states were disconnected from the Russian power grid, switched to an autonomous power supply regime. According to the Russian Ministry of Energy, the total capacity of the region's power plants is 1.88 GW, which is more than twice the peak energy consumption of the region. In 2016-2020, four new thermal power plants were built in the region, two of which are gas-fired with backup diesel fuel and one is coal-fired. In other words, from a mathematical point of view, the existing generating capacities of the Kaliningrad region are capable of meeting its energy needs even during peak periods.
But there is a nuance: both coal and gas are transported by sea. By the Baltic Sea, where submarine cables are strangely torn
Kaliningrad has traditionally been supplied with gas through the Minsk-Kilnius-Kaunas-Kaliningrad gas pipeline, which passes through Lithuania. However, due to tensions with the West, in 2019, Russia commissioned a floating liquefied natural gas terminal, Marshal Vasilevsky, located in the Baltic Sea, which can receive LNG from tankers and convert it into gas for local needs. The plant has a capacity of 174,000 cubic metres per day.
The Russians are well aware that Lithuania can cut off gas supplies at any time, so they have double-checked: they have a terminal and an underground storage facility that was supposed to be completed in 2024 (I don't know if it was) and was supposed to provide gas to the entire Kaliningrad region for 4 months in case of an emergency.
The gas supply chain looks like this:
LNG is delivered to Kaliningrad by sea tankers -> regasification is carried out at the Marshal Vasilevsky floating terminal -> gas is supplied to the local gas transmission system.
And most importantly, the gas is pumped into the storage facility along the bottom of the Baltic Sea
That is, there is no Kaliningrad without the sea
The situation with coal was the same, but before the sanctions:
Kaliningrad region, to the Baltic thermal power plant, which can run on coal, coal was supplied mainly by sea from the Russian ports of Ust-Luga, Murmansk and Primorsk, and then went to the port of Klaipeda. However, now all of this is under sanctions, so shipping coal by sea is not an option at all
That leaves only the sea. Where submarine cables tear themselves apart
Next. About the fascists from Denmark, who have a real possibility of harming the tankers supplying gas to Kaliningrad
Denmark controls the straits connecting the Baltic Sea to the North Sea, in particular the Skagerrak and Kattegat. Restricting or banning Russian tankers from passing through these straits on the part of Denmark would make it much more difficult or impossible to supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Kaliningrad.
Moreover, there are other countries that are not averse to making life in Kaliningrad unbearable - the route of LNG tankers to Kaliningrad basically passes through the territorial waters of Sweden, Poland and Lithuania - Russian tankers must cross the territorial waters of at least four countries, depending on the specific route.
The Marshal Vasilevsky, which is a floating LNG storage and regasification terminal that does not usually call at ports, is a little more complicated - it receives LNG directly from tankers in open water, regasifies it and delivers it to the onshore infrastructure via subsea pipelines. But... but the capacity is too small - it will not be enough in case of an emergency
And the most interesting thing is that the EU sanctions imposed on Russia do not apply to LNG supplies. However, the use of European ports for the transit of Russian gas may be restricted or banned.
And this will happen as early as March 2025, as the EU plans to ban the transshipment of Russian LNG in its ports, which could affect gas supplies through Klaipeda to Kaliningrad:
In the 14th package of sanctions, the European Union has introduced a ban on the use of its ports for transshipment of Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) destined for third countries.
This ban will come into effect after a 9-month transition period, i.e. from 1 March 2025.
What we have in the end. Kaliningrad is going to be a lot of fun in September. So I would advise you to sell your property to Russians (it's not your land, for one thing)
In fact, we are seeing the formation of a second Transnistria, but the difference is that there is no Moldova on the side to help out.
No, we're not talking about a total blackout in the Kaliningrad region or fights to the death for bread (although I'm in favour of that). Most likely, Russians will be forced to buy gas (don't laugh) to supply Kaliningrad
According to minimal estimates in money, this is about 2.24 billion cubic metres x 600 euros per cubic metre of gas or 1.5 (1.48) billion dollars a year. This is the money that the Russians will not be able to spend on the war, which is quite good - add to this the recent stab in the back from Denmark for more than 6 billion a year and we have the amount of 7.5 billion that Russia will stupidly burn
And that's if nothing happens in the sea of emergency. But for some reason I think that Lithuania, Poland, Denmark, and Sweden will have their say and will do everything possible to ensure that Russian pensioners eat less.
Moral. Deliberately damaging EU submarine cables is not always healthy. This is especially true for residents of Kaliningrad and the region - get ready to live in the cold and with power outage schedules as early as September 2025
