After completion of three quarters of the construction work for the Gas Interconnection Poland-Lithuania (GIPL), the final phase – construction of the gas pressure regulating and metering station – is now under way. Next year, when the Lithuanian-Polish gas interconnection is opened to the market, Lithuania will become the principal gas transit and trading hub for the Baltic States and Finland. 

In the first quarter of 2021, gas demand in Lithuania increased by almost one third to 8.7 terawatt hours (TWh) of gas, compared to 6.8 TWh of gas demand in the same period last year. The significant increase in consumption was driven by a cold winter, which boosted gas demand in the heat and power generation sectors. 

As initiated and decided by the Board of Directors of AB Amber Grid, the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of AB Amber Grid will be convened at 10.00 a.m., 23 April 2021, at the Company's head office (address: Savanorių pr. 28, Vilnius).
