Summary

Interconnected power systems are one of the backbones of our civilisation. In Europe these systems have been interconnected since 1958, gradually expanding their geographical scope, successfully unifying Europe from technical, economic and political perspectives. This paper describes the two latest Continental Europe power system synchronous extensions: Ukraine and

Moldova in 2022 and Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia in 2025. It highlights the most relevant challenges along the process over a period of more than ten years.
