National Energy Independence Strategy (2024)
Lithuania adopted an updated National Energy Independence Strategy in June 2024, revising and replacing earlier versions of the strategy originally adopted in 2012 and subsequently updated in 2018. The strategy sets long-term objectives for Lithuania to become an energy-independent country that produces sufficient energy for domestic needs and exports surplus energy. It is structured around four priorities: secure and reliable energy supply, 100% climate-neutral energy, transition to an electricity-based economy, and energy affordability. It foresees a systemic shift away from fossil fuels, expanded renewable generation, and increased electrification, with a full transformation of the energy system…

State Energy Policy of Georgia
The Policy defines Georgia’s energy vision through 2030, focusing on security, decarbonisation, and EU integration. Key 2030 targets include increasing renewable energy’s share in generation to 87% and total final consumption to 27.4%. It aims to reduce unconditional GHG emissions by 47% relative to 1990 levels. The policy mandates a 15% limit on electricity import dependency and 50% thermal efficiency for power plants. Implementation is driven by the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) and competitive market reforms.
