Energy Saving Agreements in Lithuania: Legal Framework and Targets
Lithuania's energy saving agreements are guided by a comprehensive legal framework including laws on energy efficiency and methodologies for energy audits. The country has set ambitious energy efficiency targets for 2030, focusing on sectors like building renovation, industry, and household appliances. The Lithuanian Energy Agency plays a key role in evaluating, reporting, and improving energy savings measures to meet national goals. Energy efficiency obligations are mandatory for state-owned operators, while other energy suppliers can voluntarily participate in implementing energy efficiency measures through educational and consulting agreements.

Energy Saving Agreements in Lithuania LITHUANIAN ENERGY AGENCY FUNCTIONS RELATED WITH ENERGY SAVING AGREEMENTS Evaluates the calculations for implemented energy efficiency measures and verifies the supporting documentation. Reports energy savings findings to the Ministry of Energy. Recommends improvements if energy savings fall short of Lithuania s goals. 4
Energy Saving Agreements in Lithuania ENERGY SAVING AGREEMENTS Energy Efficiency Obligations (EEOs) MANDATORY State owned electricity and gas operators VOLUNTARY Other energy suppliers, state and municipal enterprises INPUT of member: technical and financial contribution in energy efficiency measures Education and Consulting Agreements (ECAs) MANDATORY All energy suppliers (electricity, heat, gas) INPUT of member: educational and consulting activities to implement energy efficiency measures Agreements signed 33 HARD measures to improve energy efficiency SOFT measures to improve energy efficiency Agreements signed 61 All Evaluation of calculations All Verify 20 % of measures Verification of documents Verify 20 % of measures Implementation costs Calculation methods Energy savings Analysis and reporting of Types of measures Number of affected consumers (by groups) Resulting energy savings achieved 5
ENERGY EFFICIENCY OBLIGATIONS PLANNED MEASURES Energy Saving Agreements in Lithuania Over 100 energy efficiency improvement measures are planned by enterprises until 2030 Frequency (Precent) 27 17 12 11 10 9 8 6 Measure Lighting modernization (LED technology) Building automation and control systems Renewal of the vehicle fleet Buildings modernization Reconstruction of heat points/Modernization of boilers Modernization of ventilation systems/air conditioning systems/heating systems Temperature reduction in the rooms Replacement of electric motors/frequency converters 6
ENERGY EFFICIENCY OBLIGATIONS CURRENT SITUATION Energy Saving Agreements in Lithuania Accumulated energy savings for 2030 from previous savings, GWh Energy savings for 2030 according to National Energy and Climate Action Plan, TWh 16.25 1.75 Savings from other measures. 3.75 Planned savings from existing agreements. Savings that still require agreements to be made to achieve them 33.85 1.04 Implementing the 2021 measures Implementing the 2022 measures In 2021 the total amount of energy saved until 2030 will reach 1,04 GWh. In 2022 the total amount of energy saved until 2030 will reach 16,25 GWh. In the National Energy and Climate Action Plan 2021-2030 a total of 39,35 TWh of energy savings is planned, of which 5,5 TWh is due to energy efficiency obligations (EEOs). 7
Energy Saving Agreements in Lithuania SUGGESTED CALCULATION METHODS FOR CALCULATING SAVINGS OF EEOs National activity in ENSMOV plus Meeting with EEOs on March 4, 2024, discussed about: CHANGE OF LIGHTING EQUIPMENT BUILDINGS MODERNIZATION inaccuracies in the implementation and declaration of measures; how to fill in annual report and other documents of implemented measures correctly; LEA suggested 6 calculation methods for calculating energy savings (some of them from StreamSAVE project). REPLACEMENT OF ELECTRIC MOTORS ACQUISITION OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES INSTALLATION OF BUILDING AUTOMATION AND CONTROL SYSTEMS REPLACEMENT OF THE HEAT GENERATION UNIT 8
EDUCATION AND CONSULTING AGREEMENTS MEASURES Energy Saving Agreements in Lithuania ECA measure energy saving calculation: Popular Measures (heat/electricity/gas suppliers) Publication of information on the website Publication of information in the press or publication of information on television S(MWh)=Gv(MWh) * d(%) * k(q) Providing consumer group benchmarking along with energy saving tips in print S total energy saving of measure, MWh Gv the energy supplier's total amount of energy supplied (sold) to its consumers during the reporting year d percentage of consumption of the consumer target group (the number of users to whom the specific measure was applied) as a percentage of Gv k energy saving coefficient (as shown in the table) A public event involving increasing energy efficiency Consultations by e-mail, directly on the Internet or by phone upon receipt of the user's request Consultations upon arrival at the user 9

Energy Saving Agreements in Lithuania DO ENERGY SUPPLIERS COMMUNICATE WITH CONSUMERS EFFECTIVELY? Do you read your energy supplier's website for energy-saving tips? 11.70% 35.00% 53.30% Do you receive additional information about energy-saving? 20.50% 27.90% 51.60% Do you receive comparative analysis? 18.90% 19.20% 62.00% Do you see information about energy-saving from energy suppliers? 31.20% 42.00% 26.80% 0% 100% Yes (often) Sometimes No (never) Energy suppliers inform consumers most effectively through advertisements 73,2 % of respondents often or sometimes saw information. The energy suppliers makes little use of other communication channels. 62 % did not receive comparative analysis. More than half of respondents did not read the information on suppliers websites nor receive additional information about energy saving. 13
