Infrastructure development

Every two years, Amber Grid prepares a plan to develop Lithuania’s gas transmission network for the next decade. In 2024, the publication of our ten-year (2024-2033) network development plan was approved by the National Energy Regulatory Council (NERC). 

The plan envisages investments in the development of the gas transmission system up to 2033 in order to achieve the strategic objectives of the European Union and Lithuania in the gas sector: to ensure the security and reliability of gas supply, to foster competitiveness, and to develop a common Baltic state’s regional gas market.

The gas transmission network is expected to require investments of around €201 million over the next decade. Of these, investments over the next five years will amount to around €138 million.

For the first time the hydrogen network plan was integrated into the network development plan published in 2024 the hydrogen network plan. It provides possible network solutions outlined in the Network Development Plan for 2024-2033 that were coordinated with the electricity transmission system operator Litgrid and its network development plan. The 10-year plan reflects up-to-date information gathered during consultations with potential green hydrogen project developers in Lithuania and international partners planning to implement the Nordic-Baltic Hydrogen Corridor project.

• €201 million investment to upgrade existing gas infrastructure,
• ensuring the security of the transmission network and improving resilience to crisis situations,
• developing alternative energy sources, integrating renewable energy,
• developing a hydrogen transport network, synergies between the gas and electricity sectors,
• reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs).
