According to Lithuania’s Ministry of Energy, it has also been ensured that any financial contribution by consumers to the offshore wind farm will only be made once the project starts generating renewable energy, i.e., around 2033.
The priority right to transmit electricity generated by the offshore wind farms over onshore wind and solar power plants will be abolished, said the ministry. This should ensure balanced conditions for the development of offshore and onshore projects.
At the beginning of this year, the Lithuanian government decided to temporarily suspend the tender process to re-evaluate the conditions and to minimise the impact on electricity prices for consumers.
