Public consultation on the renewal of the standard terms and conditions of the electricity transmission service contract
Litgrid AB (hereinafter referred to as the Company), taking into account the Implementation plan of the Twentieth Programme of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania, approved by the Government of the Republic of Lithuania of 10 December 2025 Resolution No. 895 "On the approval of the implementation plan of the Twentieth Programme of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania", subsection 9.3.4, on 2026-04-07 prepared the Dynamic Tariff Concept (hereinafter referred to as the Concept).
The following changes are established in the Concept:
1. By improving and supplementing the currently applied static pricing of transmission tariffs, it is envisaged to choose the energy component of the sliding price zones, the limits of which will be set by the Company. It is intended to apply 3 electricity price exchange limits, which would form 4 price zones.
2. New and existing consumers will have the opportunity to agree with the Company on the possibility of managing their consumed power. A reduced weight of the tariff component for the acquisition of additional services will be applied for the relevant part of the power managed by the Company. This measure will be available to all transmission network users. Also, the Company will apply the discount of this measure to the distribution network operator, and the distribution network operator will be obliged to transfer this discount to consumers connected to the distribution network who provide balancing services to the Company.
3. It is proposed to change the principle of application of tariffs for power and additional service components from application for declared power to application based on the permitted usable power.
In implementing the Concept, the Company has prepared a draft of the Standard Terms and Conditions of the Electricity Transmission Service Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the Agreement).
The following amendments to the Agreement have been made:
1. The Standard Terms and Conditions of the Agreement:
1.1. (and separate annexes to the Agreement) establish the possibility for network users to choose a dynamic price for electricity transmission services for all or part of their devices, applying dynamic electricity components, starting from 2027.

7. A new Annex 13 to the Agreement “Conformity requirements for electricity consumption management” has been prepared. This annex establishes technical and organizational requirements for the management of consumption by network users, in accordance with which the conformity assessment will be carried out.
