Lithuania will build 10 new power plants to increase the energy system's resistance to sabotage -. Reuters. Lithuania plans to build 10 new power plants by 2033, increasing generation capacity by 800 megawatts to improve system resilience in case of emergencies such as sabotage, grid operator Litgrid said. Lithuania intends to create 7 power grid areas that can operate autonomously if necessary, modeled on the Ukrainian system for maintaining electricity production. Next year, Lithuania will start conducting "technology neutral" auctions for new power plants, without specifying which fuel can be used, but requiring that they be able to produce electricity even in the absence of wind or solar energy.
