In all three scenarios, the Baltic countries are importers, with annual net import levels of about isTWh by 2030 inthe4DS, 9TWh in the BPO, and loTWh in the 2DS. It should be noted however, that the decisive factor for the value of additional transmission capacity is the absolute average price difference per hour, not the difference in average electricity prices, since flow and value of import/export is determined by the hourly prices. Until 2030, the model does not allow for additional capacity, but existing connection lines between the Nordic and Baltic countries are used with high capacity factors of about 75% in the 2DS and 85% in the 4DS-virtually all import to the Baltics.
