Lithuania is second in the world for wind. Wind supplies 45% of its electricity.

What this grid depends on

Three measures that say more about a country than how much power it makes. Open “what this means” on any of them if the term is new.

Carbon intensity
138g CO₂e per kWh

Cleaner than 8 in 10 grids worldwide.

What this means

How much planet-warming gas is released to make one unit of electricity. Two countries can generate exactly the same amount and one of them be ten times dirtier doing it. Lower is better.

Electricity imported
28% of what it uses

Lithuania depends heavily on its neighbours for power.

What this means

The share of the electricity used here that was generated abroad and carried in over high-voltage lines. The higher it climbs, the more this country relies on a neighbour to keep its lights on.

Energy independence
56out of 100 · Dependent

More of its fuel is bought in than produced at home.

What this means

How much of what this grid runs on the country can supply itself. Sun, wind and water count fully, because nobody can cut them off; coal, gas and oil only as far as the country digs them up. A high score is not the same as a good grid: mining your own coal scores well, importing uranium scores badly.

Also true of Lithuania

Lithuania's electricity is cleaner than the world average.

138 grams of CO2e a kilowatt-hour against a world figure of 458 — 70% below.

Lithuania has taken the carbon out of its electricity fast.

296 grams of CO2e a kilowatt-hour in 2015, 138 in 2025.

Lithuania has cleaned up its grid faster than most people realise.

Low-carbon electricity went from 55% to 78% in 5 years.

Lithuania’s neighbours

Figures are for 2025, the most recent year reported for Lithuania. Generation shares are a percentage of electricity generated, not of energy used. How this is calculated.
