European Energy joins state visit to Lithuania with focus on defence and energy

European Energy has developed and constructed close to 400 MW of renewable energy capacity in Lithuania since 2021.

– European Energy is participating in the Danish state visit to Lithuania, which focuses on strengthening bilateral cooperation on defence and energy.

– Since 2021, European Energy has developed and constructed close to 400 MW of wind and solar capacity in Lithuania, with more than 800 MW currently under development.

– Lithuania’s rapid expansion of renewable energy supports its ambition to achieve a fully renewable electricity supply by 2030 and increase energy independence.

Copenhagen, Denmark, 28th of February, 2026 – European Energy is taking part in the state visit to Lithuania, where the Danish Royal Couple have been invited by the President of Lithuania. The visit focuses on strengthening bilateral relations between Denmark and Lithuania, including cooperation on energy and the green transition. Over the past five years, European Energy has been part of the expansion of renewable energy in the Lithuania.

The company began construction of its first wind power project in Lithuania near Anykščiai in 2021. Since then, European Energy has developed and constructed close to 400 MW of renewable energy capacity in the country, covering both wind, solar and battery projects. Today, the company has a development portfolio of more than 800 MW across Lithuania.

“The expansion of Lithuania’s energy infrastructure demonstrates how quickly energy production can be transformed when there are clear political frameworks and stable investment conditions. Within a few years, energy production has shifted from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources,” says Thorvald Spanggaard, EVP and Project Director at European Energy.

As part of its continued development activities, European Energy has recently finished construction of a battery systems facility near Anykščiai. The battery system will enable the storage of electricity generated from wind and solar power, supporting a more flexible, resilient power system and contributing to greater energy independence.

By the end of 2025, Lithuania’s total installed wind and solar capacity reached 5.1 GW. This represents a substantial increase compared to 2021, when total capacity stood at just over 1 GW. The expansion has been driven by political objectives aimed at strengthening energy security and reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels.

The Lithuanian government aims to supply the country’s entire electricity demand from renewable energy sources by 2030, while also becoming a net electricity exporter. Lithuania has previously been dependent on imported energy, including from Russia, but the large-scale deployment of renewable energy has increased self-sufficiency. Today, more than 75 per cent of Lithuania’s electricity production comes from renewable sources, with wind and solar together accounting for more than 60 per cent of the electricity mix.
