• Scandinavian Power Ring - Baltic Ring Study (BSR) The Baltic Ring Study is a co-operative project between 18 power companies and utility organisations from the countries around the Baltic Sea, i.e Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Belarus, Poland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland. The study was started at the beginning of 1996 and was completed at the end of 1997. The Baltic Ring Study is based on a vision: a vision of creating a common electricity market around the Baltic Sea, emphasising the need for environmental improvements. The Baltic Ring Study has outlined this vision. The comprehensive analyses of the study have led to a series of conclusions and recommendations identifying the obstacles and recommending how to overcome them. (Executive Summary / Fact Sheet)
