Lithuania

Lithuania offshore wind overview.

Lithuania is developing its first commercial offshore wind zones in the Baltic Sea. The market benefits from shallow waters, Klaipeda port infrastructure and strategic grid integration with Europe. Delivery of the 2030 target will depend on successful auctions, grid readiness and investor confidence after the first tender rounds.Europe2.8m people

Market Readiness

Market stage

Growing market where policy, grid access, or the project pipeline is still taking shape.

Consenting window

Typical offshore wind consenting timescale: 31-62 months.

Electricity system

Liberalised Nordic-Baltic market. Litgrid is TSO. VERT (National Energy Regulatory Council) regulates. Ministry of Energy sets policy. Baltic grid synchronisation completed 2025 — LitPol Link and NordBalt cables critical. Environmental Protection Agency (AAA) manages EIA. First offshore wind auction held 2024.

Grid context

Litgrid is the Lithuanian TSO and manages grid connection for offshore wind in the Baltic Sea. Connection studies are required as part of the national offshore wind auction programme, with onshore reinforcement at the Klaipėda and Palanga corridor identified as the primary connection route. The desynchronisation of the Baltic states from the Russian BRELL grid ring (completed 2025) and synchronisation with the European ENTSO-E network has increased connection planning complexity.
