[Data Issue]: Remove EE, LV, LT<->RU-1 & BY Exchanges (placeholder issue for future event)

[brandongalbraith]

When did this happen?

2025-02-08 (future event)

What zones are affected?

EE, LV, LT, RU-1, BY

What is the problem?

On February 8th, 2025, the Baltic states intend to disconnect from zones RU-1 and BY and syncronize with the EU power grid. This issue is a stub to remove those exchanges after that transition occurs.

Utility operators Elering of Estonia, AST of Latvia and Litgrid of Lithuania said that the exit notice was signed in the Latvian capital of Riga on Tuesday. The joint agreement with Moscow and Minsk will end Feb. 7, and the Baltic systems will be disconnected from the grid the next day.

“We will disconnect and dismantle the last physical connections with Russian and Belarusian grids,” Litgrid CEO Rokas Masiulis said, calling the move an “ambitious energy independence project.”

I actually don't know if we can this without messing up the historical data. It's something we'd have to look into (even if we don't currently aggregate exchange data (we still want to do this though)).

Maybe we have to figure out some solutions that keeps them logically but removes them from the app after a certain date.

We'll also double check what nordpool and entso-e does as we want to keep parity between those when possible.

Regardless, thanks for raising the issue in due time!
