What is Lithuania's energy strategy?The Strategy has 4 main objectives – to ensure a secure and reliable supply of energy to all consumers, to achieve 100% climate-neutral energy for Lithuania and the region, to transition to an electricity economy and develop a high value-added energy industry, as well as to ensure the accessibility of energy resources for consumers.
What is Lithuania's first commercial battery storage facility?Located near Vilnius, this project will be the country’s first commercial battery storage facility and is expected to increase Lithuania’s total storage capacity by approximately 50%. The system is scheduled to begin operations by the end of 2025.
Why should Lithuania invest in batteries?It will also enable Lithuania to disconnect from the Russian controlled electricity grid and synchronize with the continental European electricity grid. In case of accidents, batteries will provide instantaneous electricity reserve service in less than one second. In the future, batteries will help to integrate renewable energy sources.
How much electricity does Lithuania use?Although the average electricity consumption in Lithuania is around 1500 megawatts, the installed capacity of both solar and wind power plants is expected to exceed 2000 megawatts in 2025, enabling surplus electricity to be stored and supplied to consumers during peak hours.
