Sustainable Energy Transition in Lithuania: Challenges and Solutions

Lithuania is transitioning to sustainable energy sources with a focus on biomass for heat production and integrating excess heat energy. The district heating sector faces challenges such as the longevity of biomass generators and low-temperature network development. In the electricity sector, breakthrough packages have increased solar and wind power capacities, but there are concerns about overdemand generation. Recommendations include developing connections with neighboring countries, increasing battery storage capacities, and promoting hydrogen development to meet rising electricity demands.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Renewable energy resources in Lithuania Dr. Jaunius Jatautas j.jatautas@gmail.com +37068810333

  2. Situation of district heating • 90% heat production in Lithuania from biomass (2024) • Excess heat energy integration • Development of low temperature heat energy grids

  3. Challenges of district heating sector • Longevity of the biomass generators ~ 15 years • Adoption for balancing services • Low temperature network development • High scale heat pumps integration

  4. Situation of electricity sector Breakthrough package (2022): • Power reservations without curtailment 4.4GW solar and 3.6GW onshore, 1.4GW offshore wind = 9 GW • Connected 1.5 GW solar and 1.5GW wind power plants. 1.2GW producing consumers of them. • Overdemand generation and export (2024.04.11 ~ 3400MW/h “NordBalt”)

  5. Challenges of electricity sector • Dangers: overdemand generation - grid security, electricity purchase prices and PPA contract. • What to do? a) Develop connections with neighbor countries b) Battery storage capacities development and district heating networks c) Hydrogen development – increasing electricity demand

  6. Recommendations Higher public interest – strategic objects Support NGOS – transition in regions

  7. Thank you for your attention
