Electricity prices in Lithuania

Lithuania imports a large share of its electricity after closing its nuclear plant, with domestic wind, solar, biomass and gas-fired generation expanding to narrow the gap; its grid has been synchronised with continental Europe and decoupled from the former Soviet system. Prices follow the Nord Pool exchange.

The household market has been liberalised in stages, so most homes now choose a supplier, with the state-controlled Ignitis the largest, and the regulator VERT supervises prices and networks. Bills are issued in euro and show the energy price separately from the distribution charge of the national grid company ESO. District heating serves most apartment buildings, while detached houses rely on gas, wood or heat pumps; rooftop solar has grown quickly.
