As noted at the opening by the Minister of Energy Lukas Savickas, the substation was built much earlier than planned.
“I still remember from the time when I was a minister in another field and then became the Minister of Economy, at that time there was a different kind of storm. At that time, there was a storm about this huge project (…) facing significant challenges. And I had to see it as one of the main goals so that we could do everything necessary from the state’s perspective as quickly as possible,” said L. Savickas at the substation opening event on Tuesday.
