1. WORKING DRAFT Last Modified 8/13/2010 4:05:09 PM Central Europe Standard Time Printed 13.08.2010 14:22:48 Central Europe Standard Time Seminar The role of civil society in implementing the EU directives on the development of renewable energy sources in Lithuania 13 May, 2014 National Programme for the Development of Renewable Energy Sources

2. 1 –The Ministry of Energy commissioned a study intended to contribute to the drafting of the Programme for the Development of Renewable Energy Sources (RES). The main objective of the study was to determine national targets for energy consumption from renewable sources in the electricity, heat and transport sectors and propose measures for achieving those targets. –The study identified three problem areas where difficulties in achieving the 2020 targets set for the consumption of energy from renewable sources might arise, namely: RES consumption in the electricity generation and distribution sector, the transport sector and for individual household heating. –The strategic goal of the Programme for the Development of Renewable Energy Sources is to promote the use of RES and ensure that RES represent a significant share of national primary energy resources in 2020. Context

3. 2 Energy consumption expected to grow by up to 8% before 2020 in thousands of t oe Main prerequisites for the estimated growth:  Predicted annual GDP growth of 3.9 per cent until 2020  Growing efficiency of heat consumption and transmission  Growing efficiency of electricity transmission  Predicted energy consumption decrease in the district and household heating sectors  Predicted growth in the electricity and transport sectors – 13% and 10% respectively before 2020 Estimated consumption in 2020 5.466 7.8% 5.067 1 Actual consumption in 2012 Heat for households Other heat Heat for district heating Transport Electricity Sector Sources: Statistics Lithuania, Ministry of Finance

4. 3 1 – The target set in accordance with EU Directive 2009/28/EC. 2 – The estimation based on the implementation of the proposed measures. 3 – In the electricity sector the RES share based on EU Directive 2009/28/EC was calculated as a share of total national energy consumption. This is the total indicated here. However, it should be pointed out that electricity generated in pump storage power plants (44 thousand t oe ) was not taken into account when calculating the RES share. 4 – The target set by the Law on Energy from Renewable Sources. 5 – In the transport sector the RES share based on EU Directive 2009/28/EC was calculated in respect of only part of the fuel consumed by the transport sector. The natural and petroleum gas consumed in the transport sector and the fuel consumed by air transport were excluded from the calculations. Thus, the diagram represents only the fuel that was used as a basis for calculating the share of RES consumed by the transport sector. 6 – The fuel used to produce heat by non-household consumers (industry, services, agriculture, fisheries and construction). RES targets still to be achieved in the sectors of electricity, transport and heat for households Energy consumption, in thousands of t oe Sources: Lithuanian District Heating Association, Statistics Lithuania, Law on Energy from Renewable Sources 5,466 1,388 3,800 5,067 1,102 3,972 Total energy RES: 22%Target 23% 1 2020 estimation 2012 1,124 959 103 1,442 79 1,298 1,313 63 1,250 773 874 803 822 1,204 1.044 950 817 2020 estimation 2012 B1 | Heat for households RES: 68%Target 80% 4 2020 estimation 2012 A | Electricity 3 C | Transport 5 B2 | District heating B3 | Other heat 6 2020 estimation 2012 2020 estimation 2012 2020 estimation 2012 RES: 11%Target 20% 4 RES: 4.8%Target 10% 1 RES: 14% Target undefined RES: 28%Target 60% 4 - RES - Non RES - RES shortfall - Proposed measures 164 1 262 161 160 133 630 189 Estimation 31% 2 Estimation 23% 2 Estimation 5.5% 2 Estimation 74% 2 Estimation 76% 2 Estimation 13% 285
