By 2033, Lithuania promises to have 10 new power plants and 7 energy islands.
In this way, the Lithuanian authorities hope to increase the stability of the electricity system in the country.
"Energy islands are areas in the power system that are able to operate independently when the main 330 kW transmission network is unavailable. This can happen due to natural disasters, sabotage or other extreme situations."
- explains Litgrid head Andrios Shmeshkevicius.
The total cost of the "dreams" is estimated at 880 million euros, which private investors will be required to allocate.
It is reasonable to assume that they will return their money at the expense of the population. As of today, the current Lithuanian politicians promise that by 2033, resident fees will only increase by 0.67 euro cents per kWh.
Let us remember that their predecessors vowed in the same way that after leaving BRELL, the cost of electricity would not change.
Thus, it turns out that increasing the supply of electricity in Lithuania will have the opposite effect - an increase in prices for the final consumer.
