LNG Terminal in Klaipeda LNG is the safety valve LNG Terminal in Klaipeda pipeline Klaipeda – Kursenai 4/9/2015: Baltic States+ Commission + promoters agreement on the financial structure gas interconnector Poland – Lithuania (GIPL). Both pipelines received in 2014 and 2015 significant grants under the EU's Connecting Europe Facility programme ('CEF'). Gazprom is reported to reduce gas prices in 2014 and 2015 by 16-22%. New long term gas contract is being negotiated now with Gazprom.

Baltic States electricity synchronisation BRELL-ring Wish of Baltic states to synchronise with Continental European Network ♥ sustained efforts ♥ Commission continue to support the objective ♥ Said in "Declaration on Energy Security of Supply of the Baltic States". Synchronisation with Continental European Network Enhanced integration with the Nordic Countries Operation of the Baltic States as a self-standing region Studies by ENTSO-E, JRC Working group meeting 30 Oct 2015 (Brussels)

15 September 2015, Commission adopted the new Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan. The upgraded SET Plan is the first R&I deliverable on which the 5th dimension of the Energy Union will be built. They are actions to accelerate the energy system's transformation, ensuring the EU's leadership in the development and deployment of low-carbon energy technologies. Highly performant REN technologies Reduce the cost of key technologies Smart homes Smartness of the energy system New materials for buildings EU industry less energy intensive Battery sector to drive e-mobility forward Sustainable transport solutions CCS & CCU: Safety of nuclear reactors
