Lithuanian Energy

Data of the Lithuanian Energy Agency (LEA) show that a record number of 557 fully electric cars were registered in Lithuania in October 2023.

The Lithuanian government approved on Wednesday the Energy Ministry's proposal to postpone the deadline for completing the third and final stage of the liberalization of the country's electricity market for three years until January 2026.

Seeking full energy independence from Russian gas and in response to Russia's energy blackmail in Europe and the war in Ukraine, Lithuania has completely given up Russian gas, the Lithuanian Energy Ministry says.

Moscow's call on Lithuania to review a new draft methodology for electricity trade between the three Baltic countries and Russia shows that the Baltic states are taking the right steps, Lithuanian Energy Minister Zygimantas Vaiciunas said.

Lithuania expects that the three Baltic countries will soon sign an agreement to block market access for electricity generated by Belarus' Astravyets nuclear power plant by 2026, when their grids are planned to be synchronized with the Continental European system.

Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia can further expect sufficient funding for the synchronization of their power grids with that of continental Europe, European Commissioner for Energy Union Maros Sevcovic said in Vilnius on Friday.

Lithuania's state-run energy holding Lietuvos Energija (Lithuanian Energy) is buying Poland's Pomerania Invall from IGE, a Spanish wind farm project company owned by the environmental impact fund SI Capital.

Lithuania's state-run energy group Lietuvos Energija (Lithuanian Energy), which launched in February the search for a strategic partner for the development of off-shore wind farms, has received applications from seven European wind energy leaders.
