The largest and most efficient solar power parks in the Baltic states open in Lithuania
Summary. Lithuania''s renewable energy targets, particularly in solar PV, have exceeded expectations with 1.2 GW of total solar capacity already installed, surpassing the 2025 goal. The government has set more ambitious targets of 2 GW by 2030, with revised NECP drafts aiming for a 500% increase to 5.1 GW.
To be an active partner of society, politicians and business, creating a suitable and sustainable environment for the development of solar energy in Lithuania. We unite solar energy market players to inspire, encourage and help Lithuania to use solar energy as a clean, renewable source of energy, ensuring energy independence and a secure future
The study''s interim results, released in May 2024, suggest Lithuania can feasibly meet its 2030 electricity demand through renewables, thanks to abundant renewable energy potential, flexible generation capacity, and robust interconnections with neighboring E.U. countries
Solar energy produced using photovoltaic cells is becoming more and more popular. One of the most attractive areas where this technology could be applied is in the modernisa-tion of apartment buildings. Energy production from renewable energy sources (RES) is being promoted in European and Lithuanian strategic docu - ments.
"More than a decade ago, the Centre of Registers created a map of the geoinformation environment (REGIA) for municipalities to facilitate their daily functions. Today, we are developing this map as a national platform for open data and public services of the Centre of Registers. From this year, the REGIA map will offer a possibility to learn about the output of the solar power plant installed on the roof of a particular building. This data may become the first step in assessing our ability to start producing electricity from renewable energy sources."
Director General, State Enterprise Centre of Registers, Lithuania
State Enterprise Centre of Registers is providing data to support green energy transition in Lithuania by enabling people to decide whether to invest in solar panels.
Increased investment in renewable energy, and in particular solar power, means people want to know the annual potential of installing rooftop panels. Such decisions are now easier after completion of a new layer of data on the national geoinformation environment map, REGIA.
The Centre of Registers, in cooperation with various state institutions and companies, displays a wide range of data on REGIA. This includes engineering infrastructure and transport objects, cultural and natural heritage objects, territories with special land use conditions, and renewable energy sources.
Based on publicly available data, the new layer enables users to assess the potential of solar energy for the roofs of buildings. By combining this data with the data in the Real Property Register, which is managed by the Centre of Registers, the indicative annual solar energy potential for the roofs of buildings is calculated and displayed.
People and businesses across Lithuania are increasingly investing in renewable energy sources, not only to contribute to sustainable development but also to save money.
Residents and businesses can assess their annual electricity consumption and compare the results with the potential solar energy output.
Provides possibility of finding out the roof area suitable for solar power panels and the quantity of solar panels needed to produce energy.
Allows users to evaluate the factors that affect construction of solar power panels, for example protected buildings.
Enables residents and businesses with suitable buildings to contact solar panel service providers.

The Energy Vision 2050 presents scenarios that open up opportunities for Lithuania to become the hub of next-generation industrial development and a climate-neutral country. Lithuania would switch from fossil fuels to electricity from renewable energy sources (RES), generate electricity for domestic needs, to produce hydrogen, and export not only energy, but also higher-value sustainable products.
The energy transformation pathways have been developed by EPSO-G, the energy transmission and exchange group, together with experts from international consultancy DNV. It also involved cooperation with Lithuanian industry, energy companies and experts.
"Changes are taking place globally, and they are changing the energy sector too. The vision, which we hope will become the starting point for the renewal of Lithuania''s energy independence strategy, sets out possible scenarios for the country to become the hub for green technology development. These scenarios would guide the implementation of energy projects, the development of strategic partnerships and the creation of a basis for the integration of different sectors", says Mindaugas Keizeris, CEO of EPSO-G.
According to Mindaugas Keizeris, in order to transform the energy system and ensure competitive energy prices for both producers and consumers, it is necessary to focus not only on the development of renewable energy or the reliability and development of transmission networks and interconnections, but also to create favourable conditions for the decarbonisation of industry, heat and transport, and the integration of the emerging flexibility measures into a single system.
Lithuania is already well on its way to a sustainable energy future, with solar and wind farms being developed on land, preparations underway for the development of the offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea, and green hydrogen and other strategic energy projects in the pipeline. By 2030, Lithuania should not only produce electricity for domestic use, but also create the conditions for the development of a hydrogen industry and the export of residual energy.
In the third quarter of this year, 50% of the electricity consumed in Lithuania was generated domestically, but the rapidly growing demand for electricity is needed to continue the increase of domestic electricity generation. Lithuania currently consumes about 11 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity per year, and by 2050 to reach carbon-neutrality this demand could reach 74 TWh per year. One important reason for the growth in electricity demand is the substitution of other (fossil) fuels and raw materials by cleaner energy, the development of power-to-gas hydrogen production and the decarbonisation of the industrial and transport sectors, with electrification being a priority.
Currently, Lithuania is dependent on imports of natural gas, oil and electricity, but by 2050 the situation will have changed dramatically, with fossil fuels being phased out in favour of electricity from renewable energy sources, biogas and hydrogen. Most of the electricity in 2050 will come from onshore and offshore wind farms, solar power plants and other flexible energy generation facilities.
The EPSO-G group of companies consists of the holding company EPSO-G and its five direct subsidiaries Amber Grid, Baltpool, Energy cells, Litgrid andTetas. The rights and obligations of the sole shareholder of EPSO-G holding are implemented by the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Lithuania.
