Lithuania has rapidly become a renewables powerhouse after drastically reducing its reliance on polluting fossil fuels.
The country’s domestic consumption of renewable electricity jumped from 15 per cent five years ago to 50 per cent in 2025, thanks to huge investment in solar and wind.
At a conference last week in the European Parliament, Lithuania was praised for having the fastest renewable electricity transformation in the EU over the past four years, helping it become the first in Europe to achieve “complete independence from Russian fossil fuels”.
