The development of energy systems in the Baltic countries has been marked by significant strides towards energy independence and sustainability. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have focused on diversifying energy sources and reducing reliance on external suppliers. This transition has involved substantial investments in renewable energy, such as wind and solar power, and the modernisation of existing infrastructure to improve efficiency and reliability. The Baltic Energy Market Interconnection Plan has played a crucial role in facilitating regional cooperation and integration into the broader European energy market. This initiative has enabled the Baltic states to enhance their energy security and foster a more resilient energy system.
To boost the Baltic countries’ energy transition, they will need substantial financial investments and technological innovation. This panel explores the opportunities the region presents to address energy security, from energy storage solutions to grid management, from policy support to regional collaboration.
Speakers:
Aida Sitdikova, Director, Head of SI MEA, EBRD
Charlotte Ruhe, Managing Director, Central and South Eastern Europe, EBRD
Dainius Vilčinskas, Chairman of the Board and Managing Director, ILTE
Riina Käi, CFO and Management Board Member, Elering AS
Gatis Junghans, Member of the Management Board, Augstsprieguma tikls
