Global GridLithuania's energy mix and electricity
🇱🇹 In 2025, Lithuania generated 8.88 TWh of electricity. The largest source was wind at 45%, followed by solar (19%) and gas (17%). In total, 78% came from low-carbon sources (nuclear and renewables) and 22% from fossil fuels.
On average, each kilowatt hour produced about 139 grams of carbon dioxide (CO₂), far below the world average of 458 grams in 2025. That makes Lithuania the 32nd cleanest of 158 countries that generate at least 1 TWh a year.
Electricity demand was 12.5 TWh. Lithuania imported 3.60 TWh more electricity than it exported, equal to 29% of its demand.
Since 2000, electricity generation has fallen by 20%, from 11.1 TWh. The low-carbon share went from 79% to 78%. The biggest rise was in wind, from 0% to 45% of generation. The biggest fall was in nuclear, from 76% to 0%. Carbon intensity rose from 103 to 139 grams per kWh.

Total energy mix in 2024
Electricity is only part of the energy Lithuania uses: fuel for transport, heating and industry counts too. In 2024, Lithuania used 73.4 TWh of energy in all (primary energy). The largest source was oil at 52%, followed by gas (24%) and wind (12%). Fossil fuels made up 77% and low-carbon sources (nuclear and renewables) 24%.
- Oil 52%
- Gas 24%
- Wind 12%
- Solar 4.7%
- Other renewables 3.2%
- Biofuels 2.3%
- Coal 1.5%
- Hydro 1.5%
| Source | Share of all energy |

Primary energy, with nuclear and renewable electricity counted as the fuel a power station would need to make it (the "substitution method"). Here "other renewables" is the Energy Institute's "geothermal, biomass and other" power generation, and biofuels are liquid fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel.

Energy security score
Moderate. Lithuania ranks 111th of 158 countries and 31st of 39 in Europe. The score shows how well a country could keep electricity affordable and on if fuel supplies were disrupted.
| Measure | Score |
|---|---|
| Produces its own energy In 2024, Lithuania produced energy equal to 23% of all the energy it used (100% or more scores full marks). | 23 |
| Variety of power sources How evenly generation is spread across nine sources. The largest, wind, made 45%. | 81 |
| Little reliance on imported power Net imports were 29% of demand; each 1% takes off 2 points. | 42 |
| Low-carbon power Nuclear and renewables made 78% of generation. | 78 |
| Low gas and oil use Gas and oil made 22% of generation; the score is 100 minus that share. | 78 |
The five measures are weighted 30%, 20%, 20%, 15% and 15%. How the score works.
Oil and gas pipelines
Global Energy Monitor lists 1,507 km of oil and gas pipelines operating in Lithuania, 0 km being built and 431 km proposed (lengths measured along the mapped routes; a pipeline crossing borders counts in full for each country). For liquefied natural gas (LNG), shipped by sea, it lists 1 import terminal operating (0 more being built or proposed).
