2 Current situation

3 Local energy sources and deployment of renewable energy sources (1) Local primary energy sources (peat, oil, geothermal energy, possibly shale gas) in Lithuania are rather scarce and major expectations are related with biomass and other renewable energy sources. In 1990, the share of all local and renewable energy sources in the country s primary energy balance was only 2.7%. In 2014, the share of renewable energy sources in the country s primary energy balance increased to 18.2%. In 2014, the share of renewable energy sources in the country s final energy balance was 23.8% (EU target for 2020 is 23%)

4 Local energy infrastructure (1) Electricity transmission and distribution networks are well developed and can satisfy needs of the power system. Until 2016 total throughput of existing interconnections is equal to 3.5 GW for export of electricity from Lithuania and 3.2 GW for import from neighbouring countries, and maximum load is less than 2 GW; Since 2016, after commissioning of powerful interconnections LitPol Link (500 MW) and NordBalt (700 MW) with the power systems of Poland and Sweden will open new opportunities for real integration

5 Local energy infrastructure (2) Well-developed district heating systems can supply heat in all larger cities in the country. District heating provides favourable opportunities for deployment of local and renewable energy resources, use of modern technologies, combined production of electricity and heat, use of cheap local fuels; The major part of district heat is generated by public CHP plants and large public heat plants; The share of heat from renewable energy sources increased from 2.5% in 2000 to 35.5% in The share of energy from chemical processes increased from 3.5% in 1990 to 25.0% in 2014.

19 Legislation According to the RES law amendment: small solar PV (up to 10 MW total) will be supported ; small installations (up to 10 kw per installation for individual houses and up to 50 kw for public buildings) are allowed to put electricity to the grid for safe keeping at 0,03213 EUR/kWh for low voltage and 0,01447 EUR/kWh for the medium voltage. National District Heating Program : 60% of biomass in DH sector by 2017 (and up to 70% by 2021). Renewable Energy Sources Development Plan (under preparation): Support additional 250 MW of wind PP installation (investment subsidies)
