Power Plants in Lithuania

Lithuania has 21 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 89th-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and under 0.1% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 6 operating and 12 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 2.6 GW across 6 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is Ignalina nuclear power plant (2.6 GW).

The largest owner-operators are UAB Ignitis Renewables (4), AB Ignitis Gamyba (3) and Ignitis Grupe AB (3) — UAB Ignitis Renewables alone is named on 19% of them. Half of Lithuania's power plants in service predate 2021 (median commissioning year of the 6 with a known date), 3 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Kaunas Algirdas Brazauskas hydroelectric plant, dating from 1959. 12 are in the pipeline, led by Baltic Sea wind farm (700 MW), under construction.
