Page 15 and 16 of this report have a nice table.

Situation in November 2018

so decently recent

nice discovery! seems like the values in the table represent the physical maximum transmission capacity, which is the right value to use. a certain bit will always be used by reactive power. in addition, there usually are tramsmission limits from one side to the other (grid stability reasons). Caution: I think Ukraine<>Romania with over 5GW is a bit high - if I remember correctly, it's due to an unused 750kV line from the Soviet times, which is partially not existing anymore. same probably applies for Ukraine<>Hungary and Ukraine<>Poland. capacity seems too high there opposed to what we regularly see on the map. background: A small western part of Ukraine is synchronous with the central EU countries. the rest is synchronous with the ex-soviet states. some Nuclear power plants in the west used to export power to the mentioned neighbouring states. but the high voltage level is not used anymore. check blue lines on: https://www.entsoe.eu/data/map/

Is there more to do here? Or have we already added all the capacities mentioned in the report?

q-- commented 4 years ago

Made a list. Don't have time to check them all at the moment, but I've seen that at least Estonia and Latvia appear to miss capacities

Going to double check all these and add the missing ones so we can finally close this.
