ENERGY MIX

In 2012, Lithuania’s total energy consumption amount- ed to 86TWh. The dominating fuels were natural gas and oil products, whose respective shares in the pri- mary energy balance stood at 36% and 34%. The energy obtained from renewable energy sources amounts to 15% of the total amount of energy con- sumed in Lithuania. The EU Directive Regarding the Incentives for Consumption of Renewable Energy Resources has obligated Lithuania to reach 23% until 2020. Currently Lithuania has 10 off-grid biogas-fired plants with total installed capacity for electricity of 8.4MW and with total installed capacity for thermal energy of 25.4MW. It is forecasted that the installed capacity of biofuel plants will reach 1,232MW by 2015.
