Will Lithuania achieve a climate-neutral energy sector?

Lithuania closed the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant in 2009 and currently operates synchronously with the Russia-Belarus power system, though a de-synch is planned in early 2025. To achieve a climate-neutral energy sector, Lithuania will have to more than triple the amount of renewable energy generated.

How can Lithuania improve its low-carbon electricity generation?

For Lithuania to enhance its low-carbon electricity generation, expansion in wind and solar energy infrastructures is essential, given their current substantial roles. The country could greatly benefit from examining successful models like Denmark and Iowa, which generate 49% and 60% of their electricity from wind, respectively.
