How much electricity does solar power generate per watt in Lithuania

Lithuania has been significantly expanding its solar parks, growing from zero in early 2000s to 814 MW capacity in 2022. Lithuania is a net energy importer. In 2019 Lithuania used around 11.4 TWh of electricity after producing just 3.6 TWh. Systematic diversification of energy imports and resources is Lithuania's key energy strategy.

Lithuania imports a large share of its electricity needs, while bioenergy is taking the lead in domestic energy supply. By 2030, Lithuania wants to reduce its electricity imports by half and produce 70% of its electricity needs from domestic sources. It plans to complete its synchronisation with the continental European power system by early 2025.

Lithuania does not generate electricity from nuclear power. With no nuclear generating capacity, Lithuania heavily relies on imports, in particular natural gas from Russia. In the Netherlands, the single operational reactor (0.5 GWe net) supplied only 4% of domestically generated electricity in 2016.

In June 2024, the average wholesale electricity price in Lithuania increased to approximately 91.6 euros per megawatt-hour. Between January 2021 and August 2022, electricity prices in the Baltic country grew roughly nine-fold due to the global energy crisis, surpassing 480 euros per megawatt-hour in the latter month.

In 2020 Lithuania imported almost 70% of its energy, with 96.1% of imports coming from Russia. In 2021, Lithuania spent over €3 billion on Russian oil, gas, and electricity. In 2025, Lithuania stopped importing electricity from russia.

Currently, there are 23 wind farms in Lithuania. Together with small power plants, the total capacity of the installed power plants amounted to 534 MW at the end of 2019. As regards renewable electricity, in 2019, electricity produced by solar power plants amounted to 91.1 million kWh, or by 5.2 per cent more than in 2018.
