In the first quarter of 2025, 5.7 terawatt hours (TWh) of gas were consumed in Lithuania, almost as much as in the winter of 2024, when the country's gas demand was 5.5 TWh. This year, more gas was used in electricity generation. Whereas last year, higher gas demand was recorded in the heat generation sector. The need to generate electricity from gas was mainly due to lower production of renewable energy sources, which was due to cloudy and less windy weather, as well as favourable gas prices for electricity generation.

In January-March, 8.8 TWh of gas were delivered to Lithuania, not counting transit to Königsberg. This is 13.5% more than in the same period last year, when 7.8 TWh of gas were transported to Lithuania.

In January - March 2025, 0.6 TWh of gas were transported to Europe via the GIPL pipeline connecting Lithuania and Poland. 2.4 TWh of gas were transported for the needs of Latvia, Estonia and Finland. This is 31% more compared to the same period in 2024.

“In the last quarter, we transmitted a third more gas to Latvia than a year ago. The increased gas transportation to other countries was due to the fact that this year, unlike last year at the same time, the Balticconnector gas connection between Estonia and Finland was operational. These results clearly illustrate the integrity and benefits of the infrastructure created by the Baltic countries“, - says Nemunas Biknius, Head of Amber Grid.

In January-March 2025, 84 percent (7.4 TWh) of all gas transported to the system were delivered through the Klaipėda LNG terminal, which is the main source of gas supply to Lithuania and the other Baltic countries. The flow from Latvia accounted for 14.8 percent (1.3 TWh).

During the first quarter of the year, 38 GWh of biomethane were injected from biogas producers into the gas transmission system.
