How will Lithuania achieve the instantaneous electricity reserve of Isolated mode?

The instantaneous electricity reserve of isolated mode for Lithuania will be ensured by theelectricity storage facilities system with the 200 megawatts (MW) and 200 megawatt-hours (MWh) capacity. If needed, the high-capacity reserve storage facilities will start supplying power immediately – within 1 second.
