In support of the 100% renewable electricity target by 2050, the government is encouraged to design a long-term renewable energy strategy for Lithuania, which would analyse the electrification of end-uses, notably heat, and an assessment of system integration needs across sectors.
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's energy policy aligns sustainability goals with the objectives of boosting energy security, competitiveness and technology innovation. As such, the country's energy policies are broadly aligned with the IEA Shared Goals (see Annex D). Over the past decade, Lithuania has witnessed several energy transitions.
With virtually no primary energy resources of its own, Lithuania progressed from a pro-nuclear to a renewable national energy strategy in just one decade. Based on the revised Copenhagen Securitization School, this article analyses energy security perceptions as a factor that determines the recent turn in Lithuanian energy strategy.
