Litgrid, the operator of Lithuania’s electricity transmission system, and Amber Grid, the operator of the gas transmission system, have prepared a joint development scenario for the electricity, gas, and hydrogen networks—the first of its kind in Lithuania. This scenario served as the basis for developing national ten-year (2026–2035) development plans for the electricity, gas, and hydrogen networks. Lithuania’s electricity and gas transmission system operators not only ensure the reliable operation of the systems on a daily basis but also plan the development of the country’s and the region’s electricity sector for the next ten years and beyond. The prepared ten-year network development plans will be submitted by July 1.

Litgrid Modernizes Power Transmission Network Maintenance: Launches Periodic Aerial Scanning
Litgrid, the Lithuanian power transmission system operator, is launching periodic aerial scanning of the country’s entire high-voltage power transmission network (110–400 kV). Over the next two months, more than 5,000 km of power lines will be scanned. This allows for the planning of necessary maintenance work before disruptions occur and ensures the consistent modernization of power grid maintenance.

For the first time in history, Lithuania’s weekly electricity demand was met entirely by renewable energy plants, with prices falling by 58 percent
In the penultimate week of April, for the first time in history, weekly production from renewable energy plants exceeded Lithuania’s electricity demand, driven primarily by increased wind power generation. Electricity prices were at their lowest since June of last year, with negative electricity prices also emerging, and more electricity was exported to Sweden than was imported from it.

The installed capacity of wind and solar power plants in Lithuania has reached 6 GW
The installed capacity of wind and solar power plants connected to Lithuania’s electricity transmission and distribution networks has reached 6 GW, according to data from Litgrid, the Lithuanian electricity transmission system operator. Since the beginning of this year, the capacity of renewable energy plants in Lithuania has increased by nearly 0.3 GW, and by nearly 2 GW over the past 12 months.

Lithuania ranks second in Europe for the share of electricity consumption met by wind power, and sixth for solar generation
In 2025, wind power plants in Lithuania supplied 33 per cent of the country's electricity consumption, placing Lithuania second in Europe by this measure, according to data from Lithuanian electricity transmission system operator Litgrid and the European wind energy industry association Wind Europe. Solar power plants in Lithuania last year accounted for 14 per cent of electricity consumption, ranking Lithuania sixth in Europe by the share of consumed electricity generated from solar.

EPSO-G and Litgrid launch a flexibility services calculator
Lithuanian electricity transmission system operator Litgrid, together with the new energy companies group EPSO-G, has developed and is launching a flexibility services calculator. It will help market participants assess the potential technical and financial benefits of devices providing flexibility services. The tool is expected to encourage participation in the balancing market and help increase balancing market capacity and competition.

Litgrid implements a proven innovation – Dynamic Line Rating technology to increase electricity transmission capacity
Lithuanian electricity transmission system operator Litgrid has signed a contract for the procurement of Dynamic Line Rating (DLR) technology. The system, which measures and forecasts overhead line parameters, will enable greater volumes of electricity to be transmitted across existing lines. This will allow the transmission network to carry more electricity generated from renewable energy sources.

Cross-border infrastructure development programme – greater opportunities for export and the development of renewables
Litgrid’s priorities extend beyond the final stages of the synchronisation programme and projects under the critical infrastructure resilience programme. Equally important is the third initiative: the Interconnection Strengthening Programme. Here, we speak with Matas Gvazdaitis, about its main objectives, the projects it encompasses, and the work already completed.

Litgrid has launched Transmission network consumption capacity map
Lithuania’s electricity transmission system operator Litgrid has launched a new digital tool – the Transmission network consumption capacity map. The map provides information on where and at what capacity electricity consumers could be connected to the transmission network, based on previously completed assessments. It is intended for customers with significant electricity demand, including industrial companies, data centre, electrolysis and other energy project developers planning investments in Lithuania.

Litgrid 2025 results: operating more reliably in continental Europe, strengthening system resilience, developing interconnections
Last year, Litgrid, the Lithuanian electricity transmission system operator, implemented synchronisation with continental European grid and successfully maintained the operation of the system in the Continental Europe Synchronous Area. In 2025, Litgrid improved electricity supply reliability indicators and consistently implemented strategic projects to increase the resilience of the electricity system and interconnection capacity. Due to temporary factors in the electricity balancing market, the company's net profit decreased, but adjusted EBITDA and profit indicators were better compared to the results of 2024.
