To ensure rapid transition of the Lithuanian economy to renewable energy and green transformation in various sectors of the country's economy, the Ministry of Energy initiated preparation of the study of application and development of the new renewable energy source - hydrogen (H2).
In order to ensure that the right to use the natural gas transmission system operated by AB Amber Grid is granted objectively and fairly, without discrimination between individual network users, and taking into account the emergence of the new Lithuanian-Polish gas interconnection - GIPL, as well as to harmonise the provisions of the rules with the rules applicable in the Latvian and Estonian gas market area, we are submitting to public consultation AB Amber Grid draft Rules for Access to the Natural Gas Transmission System and AB Amber Grid draft Rules for Natural Gas Transmission System Balancing of AB Amber Grid.
For 2022, Amber Grid proposes to set for Lithuanian consumers a significantly reduced average price for gas transmission services.
Amber Grid, the gas transmission system operator, has signed an agreement with the Lithuanian Business Support Agency (LVPA) to reconstruct above-ground and underground sections of high-pressure trunk gas pipelines in various parts of Lithuania. The contract also opens up the possibility to increase the technological advancement of the pipeline by installing innovative infrastructure elements such as corrosion rate sensors.
