“Amber Grid and Litgrid play a key role in ensuring energy independence and security, and will make a significant contribution to the implementation of Lithuania’s Energy Vision 2050, which was presented this year. The application and reinforcement of good management practices is essential to ensure the achievement of these objectives and the implementation of other projects. That’s why we aim to attract the members with the best competences to our boards”, says Mindaugas Keizeris, CEO of EPSO-G.

In the new Amber Grid Board, independent board members will be responsible for business transformation, technology or infrastructure solutions, while members nominated by the parent company will be responsible for strategic management and financial management.
