The Baltic countries have been actively working for years to synchronize their network to the Continental European Network (CEN).
In 2018, the leaders of the Baltic States and Poland signed a political roadmap together with the European Commission to set the target date of 2025 for accomplishing the synchronisation while an implementing roadmap was signed in June 2019 setting out the milestones up to the synchronisation date. The relevant grid developments and reinforcements have been also included in the fourth EU list of Projects of Common Interest (PCIs).

TL;DR:
The international team of scientists counted a total of 184 fungal and 55 bacterial strains capable of breaking down polycaprolactone (PCL), a biodegradable polyester commonly used in the production of various polyurethanes. Of these, bacterial strains within the genera Jonesia and Streptomyces have the potential to further degrade other petroleum-based polymers—natural or synthetic chains of molecules bound together.
The plastic-degrading microorganisms were sampled in May 2021 from Dafeng in eastern China, a UNESCO-protected site near the Yellow Sea Coast. The sampling confirmed the presence of a terrestrial plastisphere, a term that is relatively new to terrestrial ecology as past studies have primarily focused on marine environments. The microbiome of this "man-made ecological niche" of coastal plastic debris was further found to be distinct from the surrounding soil.
