An impressive electrification of Lithuania is on the way: the country's energy demand is set to grow by almost 50% in 10 years.

Litgrid, the Lithuanian transmission system operator, predicts in this year's 10-year plan that electricity consumption in the country will be 46% higher in 2031 than last year. As the demand for electricity grows, the company plans to launch dozens of construction and reconstruction projects each year, and Litgrid plans to spend more than €2 billion in total to ensure the reliability and security of the grid. As we prepare for an impressive electrification leap, the company is sending a message to the labour market and future graduates: the demand for energy professionals will grow from time to time.
