Lithuanian transmission system operator Litgrid implements the energy island model.
"Its goal is simple - even in the event of an emergency, individual regions in Lithuania must be able to operate independently and maintain electricity supply to residents, businesses and critical infrastructure," said Energy Minister Lukas Svickas.
According to the concept, seven areas of the electricity system will be created in Lithuania, which will be able to operate temporarily independently of each other. The implementation of the model will require the installation of 10 new power plants in different parts of Lithuania with a total capacity of 800 MW.
Also, modernization of existing power plants and installation of batteries is planned. It is planned to ensure autonomous operation of the 4 islands at reduced power as early as 2028.
