Energy Security Of Lithuania: Challenges And Perspectives
Energy Security Of Lithuania: Challenges And Perspectives

Summary/Abstract: The article states that energy dependence on Russia is one of the most problematic threats for the economical security of Lithuania. This statement is supported by a comprehensive analysis of the Lithuanian energy sector: the authors examine trends in Lithuanian energy consumption, possible changes in energy structure and energy infrastructure, which determine a few possibilities to get energy resources from other suppliers but Russia. The authors assert that construction of the North European Gas Pipeline will diminish Lithuanian energy security even more and Lithuania may remain only a final consumer of energy resources. However, in the article an assumption is made that positive structural changes in Lithuania’s energy security could take place if the EU would formulate its Common Energy Policy.
