In short, bioenergy continues to be actively developed in district heating (DH), and wind energy is growing rapidly in the production of renewable electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facts<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Renewable heat supply has more than tripled \u2014 from 144 thousand tons of oil equivalent in 2009 to 456 thousand tons of oil equivalent in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renewable energy sources grew even faster \u2014 from 34 thousand tons of oil equivalent in 2009 to 664 thousand tons of oil equivalent in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lithuania has already achieved the objectives of the EU RES Directive. Lithuania’s national target for RES for 2020 was 23%, which was achieved in 2015 with a share of 25.75%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Share of RES by sectors in the gross final energy consumption of Lithuania (2019):<\/strong> 75.8% of electricity, 53.9% of heating, 3.7% of transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, the production of electricity from RES in Lithuania<\/strong> amounted to 2.5 TWh, or 75.8%, in particular: wind \u2014 44.5%, bioenergy and waste \u2014 18.4%, hydropower \u2014 10.2%, solar energy \u2014 2.7%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
