Renewable energy in Lithuania constitutes some energy produced in the country. In 2016, it constituted 27.9% of the country's overall electricity generation.[1][2] Previously, the Lithuanian government aimed to generate 23% of total power from renewable resources by 2020, the goal was achieved in 2014 (23.9%).

Biomass[edit]

Solid biofuel or biomass represents the most common source of renewable energy in Lithuania.[3] Most commonly used are firewood and wood as well as agricultural waste.[3] It is primarily used to produce heat, but is also used for electricity production.[3]

Solar power[edit]

Solar potential of Lithuania

In 2023, Lithuania had capacity of 1165 MW of solar power (compared to only 2.4 MWh power in 2010).[7][8]

As of 2012, Lithuania has 1,580 small (from several kilowatts to 2,500 kW) solar power plants with a total installed capacity of 59.4 MW which produce electricity for the country, and has an uncounted number of private power plants which make electricity only for their owners.[9]

Wind power[edit]

Installed wind power capacity in Lithuania and generation in recent years is shown in the table below:[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]
