The Baltic Regional Coordination Center (RCC) provides network security services to the electricity transmission system operators of the Baltic countries - Litgrid of Lithuania, Elering of Estonia and AST of Latvia. RCC was established by the operators of the Baltic electricity transmission system of the three states in accordance with the requirements of the European Union's Clean Energy Package. The Baltic RCC is one of six European regional coordination centers.
The RCC implements five main tasks: calculates the capacity of the power line between countries, assesses the reliability and adequacy of the systems, plans to disconnect the line, and develops a model of the overall network. All this helps to ensure the smooth operation of the countries, which work more and more closely every day to prepare for synchronization, and after maintaining close relations, operating in the common network of continental Europe.
Litgrid is the Lithuanian electricity transmission system operator (the TSO).
Litgrid's main activities: The company is responsible for maintaining the balance of electricity consumed and produced in the Lithuanian electricity system and reliable transmission of electricity, carries out strategic Lithuanian electricity projects, bases its vision and strategic operational guidelines on the principles established in the National Energy Independence Strategy (hereinafter - NEIS) for long-term purposes.
The most important areas of activity and responsibilities of Litgrid: support of the country's electricity infrastructure and integration with continental and Northern European electricity infrastructure; development of the electricity market and participation in the creation of a common electricity market of the Baltic States and Europe; Integration of the electricity systems of Lithuania and continental Europe for work in synchronous mode. By implementing the program of synchronization with continental European networks, in which the Company is tasked with implementing projects of strategic importance approved by the Government of the Republic of Lithuania.
By systematically performing daily functions, ensuring uninterrupted and smooth operation of the electricity transmission system, implementing projects of national importance, the Company aims to create value for its customers - the Lithuanian society.
Litgrid not only transmits electricity through high-voltage lines, but also takes care of the reliability of the entire transmission network: it is important for us that electricity is always supplied to electricity consumers, and if a fault occurs, it is removed as soon as possible. Reliability of electricity supply is a guarantee of economic growth.

Litgrid is a Lithuanian-wide electricity transmission system operator. The Company maintains high-voltage electricity transmission networks and secures the stable operation of the country's electricity system, manages electricity flows, and creates conditions for competition in the free electricity market, it is responsible for the integration of the Lithuanian electricity system into the European electricity infrastructure and the single electricity market.
Electricity transmission is an intermediate link between electricity generation and distribution to consumers. The voltage of transmission networks is high or very high (110-440 kV). Electricity transmission networks consist of electricity transmission lines with substations. Electricity lines are connected in the electricity substations that contain the switchyards of a higher and lower voltage and the transformers linking them. In the substation transformers voltage is reduced to the voltage of distribution networks.
Electricity transmission is a licensed activity. Prices of the electricity transmission service are regulated by the National Energy Regulatory Council (NERC) that sets the price caps for these services.
The electricity transmission service is electricity transmission over high voltage (400, 330, 300 and 110 kV) electrical installations. The transmission system operator transmits electricity from producers to consumers that are connected to the transmission network, and to the operators of the distribution networks.
The main activities of the TSO include the management of the high voltage electricity transmission network and securing reliable, effective, high-quality, transparent and safe transmission of electricity.
In order to maintain the reliable operation of the system, Litgrid purchases frequency recovery reserve, steady-state voltage regulation, ensuring system start-up after a total accident, availability of electricity generation facilities and isolated work reserve from electricity producers, and provides additional services to consumers. The frequency recovery reserve is needed when there is a sudden unplanned decrease in electricity production or an increase in its consumption.
Litgrid ensures the country's electricity production and consumption balance. Imbalance electricity is electricity that is consumed or produced without complying with established electricity consumption or production schedules. Litgrid organizes trade in imbalance electricity, buys and sells imbalance electricity necessary to ensure the country's electricity production and consumption balance.
Balancing electricity - electricity purchased and/or sold at the request of the transmission system operator, required to perform the function of balancing the country's electricity consumption and production. Litgrid organizes trade in balancing electricity auctions. Balancing energy suppliers and operators of transmission systems from other countries, who have the technical ability to promptly change electricity production and consumption modes and have concluded a relevant contract with Litgrid, participate in it.
Under the regulation of the Minister of Energy of the Republic of Lithuania, Litgrid has been appointed as an entity authorized to carry out the supervision and control of the issuance, transfer and cancellation of guarantees of origin of electricity produced from renewable energy sources, as well as the use of guarantees of origin, as well as guarantees of origin issued by other member states and third countries. functions of recognition in the Republic of Lithuania. Guarantee of origin - an electronic document, the sole purpose of which is to prove to the end user that all or a certain part of the energy was produced from renewable energy resources.
The users of the transmission network are as follows:
(All amounts are in EUR thousands unless otherwise stated)
The suppliers of imbalance and balancing electricity include the electricity producers, battery parks and suppliers.
In accordance with the requirements approved by the NERC for reliability and quality of service of electricity transmission, the following indicators are used to determine the transmission reliability level: ENS (energy not supplied), i.e. the quantity of electricity not transmitted due to interruptions, and AIT (average interruption time), i.e. the average interruption duration in electricity transmission.
| TSO's operating indicators | HY 2024 | HY 2023 | HY 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quantity of electricity transmitted million kWh |
4 739 | 4 718 | 5 306 |
| ENS (Energy Not Supplied due to interruptions), MWh * |
10.64 | 2.626 | 8.241 |
| AIT (Average Interruption Time), min. * | 0.38 | 0.313 | 1.155 |
*NERC has determined that AIT should not exceed 0.934 min and ENS should not exceed 27.251 MWh throughout the year.
The reliably functioning interconnections are an essential part of the system enabling it to operate together with the energy systems of other Western and Northern European countries and to develop a single European market.
LitPol Link is a double-circuit transmission line from Alytus in Lithuania to Elk in Poland and the Alytus back-to-back converter. The LitPol Link interconnection was available to the market 98.19% of the time throughout first half of 2024. Scheduled works for the implementation of the project on the expansion of the interconnection had a major impact on the unavailability of the LitPol Link interconnection.
The NordBalt electricity interconnection is one of the longest submarine cables in the world, the operation of which significantly increases safety of energy supply to Lithuania and the Baltic States. The NordBalt interconnection was available to the market 92.18% of the time in the first half of 2024. Scheduled repair works had a major impact on the unavailability of the NordBalt interconnection.
In Lithuania, Litgrid employees maintain 6,966.42 km of overhead lines and 327.2 km of high-voltage cable lines, 245 transformer substations and switchboards, 2 high-voltage direct current converters.
The constant repair and maintenance of transmission network facilities directly affects the reliability of the electricity system and the transmission of electricity. Planned works in the transmission network are carried out according to the periodicity established by the legal acts of the Republic of Lithuania, but the evaluation of the quantities and scope of the works is based on the actual condition of the facilities and the need to ensure the reliable operation of the network and the efficient use of financial resources.
In the first quarter of 2024, an ERS temporary supports assembly/dismantling exercise took place in Alytus district. During it, line engineers of the Infrastructure Maintenance Center, together with airline contractors and DNV Netherlands trainers, successfully trained in the installation of emergency recovery systems for power transmission airline lines. During the training, the foundations of the supports were installed, the supports were assembled, the supports were raised to the required height using the hydraulic system, and insulators were installed.
We successfully perform emergency reserve restoration when equipment is transferred to Ukrainian transmission networks.
The strategic goal of Litgrid is the integration into the European market. The Company's activities are also affected by the development trends of the objectives and targets of the European Union.

In the first half of 2024, a record local electricity production was achieved in Lithuania. According to preliminary data, power plants produced as much as 61 percent in the first half of the year. of the total amount of electricity consumed. Also, for the first time since the closure of the Ignalina nuclear power plant in 2009, on March 11 of this year, more electricity was produced in Lithuania per day than consumed. In recent years, the significantly growing capacity of solar and wind power plants leads to a decreasing dependence on electricity imports.
According to preliminary data, in the first 6 months, wind power plants produced the largest share of electricity produced in Lithuania - about 1.6 TWh or 43 percent. all production in Lithuania. Solar power plants produced another 19 percent. or 0.7 TWh. This is more than the production of solar power plants reached in the entire year 2023, when their generation reached 0.6 TWh. The remaining 38 percent consisted of electricity produced in hydroelectric, thermal and other power plants.
Electricity consumption in the first half of 2024 reached 6 TWh. This is approximately 4 percent. more than in the first half of last year, but 4 percent. less than the quantities consumed in the first half of 2022 or 2021. Although electricity consumption is growing due to electrification in the heating, transport and industrial sectors, it is partially compensated by the rapid increase in the number of generating consumers, which allows for local production and consumption of electricity.
Although most of the consumption in Lithuania was produced by local power plants, import flows remained significant. The largest import flows reached Lithuania from Sweden via the "NordBalt" connection. Until July, we imported about 2.5TWh of electricity from Sweden, while exports to Scandinavia were minimal. With neighbouring Latvia, the import and export volumes were similar - about 0.6 TWh each. The "LitPol Link" connection with Poland, which in recent years was used for more exports than imports, is used more often for imports this year. In half a year, about 0.8 TWh was imported from Poland, and about 0.4 TWh was exported.
In most European countries, electricity prices have decreased slightly compared to 2023, largely due to stable natural gas prices. In Lithuania, the average price of electricity on the day-ahead exchange in 2024 so far reaches 81.5 EUR/MWh or 14 percent. less than the average price of the previous year, which was 94.5 Eur/MWh. Electricity prices were very close in the Baltic countries, but they remained among the highest in the Baltic Sea region. Only the Polish trade zone was more expensive - the average price of electricity in the first half of the year was 86 EUR/MWh.
While average electricity prices remain stable, Europe's rapidly growing renewable power capacity is increasingly influencing hourly prices. During the year 2023, 136 hours were recorded in Lithuania when the price of electricity was 0 EUR/MWh or negative. This year, this number already reaches almost 100 hours in half a year, the highest number of such hours in the Baltic Sea region was recorded in Finland - as many as 333 hours in half a year, the highest hourly electricity price was recorded in Finland on January 5 at 20:00 - as much as 1896 Eur/MWh. These emerging trends point to changes in the electricity market and the need for new solutions.
Electricity transmission activities carried out by Litgrid are licensed activities. The licence grants exclusive rights to provide transmission services in Lithuania, thus the prices of services are regulated by the state. The regulatory function and supervision of the licensed activities in Lithuania are performed by the National Energy Regulatory Council.
The decisions taken by the regulator directly affect Litgrid's financial performance, the funds available for necessary operating costs, investments to ensure the reliability of the electricity transmission system, as well as the ability to finance strategic and other development projects with own or borrowed funds. The price of the electricity transmission service shall be regulated by setting a price cap for the five-year regulatory period and a component for the acquisition of ancillary services on top of the price of the transmission service. The price cap shall be adjusted each year in response to changes in the volume of services, inflation and other objective factors beyond the control of the operator and may be adjusted no more than twice a year.
The price cap shall consider the reasonable indispensable costs of the regulated activity and a reasonable return on investment, calculated as the product of the rate of return on investment (WACC) and the value of the regulated assets (RAB).

A client-focused organisation and a centre of competences for the energy sector, state-of-the-art technological and digital solutions, sustainable energy development that will double the current generation volume of electricity, and opportunities for market participants to exchange electricity freely at a competitive price. These are the goals set out in the Litgrid's strategy that was approved by the Company's Board in January 2023. The strategy establishes the Litgrid's long-term vision of becoming one of the smartest electricity transmission system operators in Europe.
Litgrid plans to expand its activities by focusing on several priority areas. One of the most important priorities is the fight against climate change through the development and adaptation of the transmission system for electricity generation from renewable energy sources and the reduction of the impact of Litgrid's own infrastructure on the environment.
The strategy pays special attention to the development of renewable energy, sustainability and organizational development. Litgrid aims to become an efficient exchange platform that enables and encourages market participants and consumers to freely exchange electricity, choose to produce or consume climate-neutral energy and receive it at a competitive price.
in 2023 Litgrid in 2030 the strategy has been updated, taking into account the internal and external factors affecting the company's operations, aligned with the 2023 results of the Lithuanian energy system transformation study and EPSO-G group strategy changes. In the updated strategy, the focus remains on the implementation of strategic synchronization projects, ensuring successful synchronization with continental European networks in 2025. in February
With the acceleration of energy production from the sun and wind, we create conditions for the smooth integration of these renewable energy resources (RES) in the Lithuanian electricity transmission network, with the aim of producing 100% of electricity in Lithuania. electricity is consumed here, while ensuring system stability and network reliability.
The transformation of the energy system requires a strong partnership, so our goal is to become a customer-oriented organization that creates innovative and flexible services that meet their expectations. Therefore, a review of customer journeys and a continuous feedback system and tracking of key indicators will enable us to constantly know how well we are meeting customer needs.
We aim to work according to global best practices in customer experience management. We will implement digital transformation and enable artificial intelligence solutions in our operations in the future.

We have a strong focus on enabling renewable energy sources (RES). in 2022 the established and smoothly developing Center for Renewable Energy Resources (RES) provides relevant data to the market and ensures the availability of the most important data related to RES. The "Litgrid" team contributed to the implementation of an innovative solution - the Procedure Description for Connection to Electricity Networks (PETA). It describes and legalizes a new bandwidth reservation principle that enables developers to connect up to 300% of the existing network bandwidth, separately evaluating solar, wind and storage generation profiles. We are actively looking for IT solutions that will ensure prompt connection of customers to electricity networks. We focus on increasing the satisfaction of RES customers - the RES connection process is reviewed and optimized.
We continue the energy transformation process. in 2023 III quarter EPSO-G Group companies, together with the consulting company DNV, prepared the Lithuanian energy system until 2050. transformation study. The study presents scenarios for the possible development of the Lithuanian energy system, assessing development projects, opportunities, changes in energy consumption, and the responsible party. According to the Lithuanian energy system transformation study, in 2024 it is planned to prepare a new Litgrid long-term strategy as an integral part of the company group's strategy.
Through its activities, the company aims to directly contribute to the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on ensuring access to clean and modern energy, combating climate change, developing modern infrastructure and innovation, creating safe and decent working conditions, employee well-being and a sustainable supply chain. In the long-term strategy until 2030 we identified clear areas of sustainable development in the organization, strategic goals, indicators and planned activities to achieve these goals.

The studies conducted in the first half of the year 2024 and their insights.
Litgrid experts are actively participating in the model study of the Lithuanian energy system implemented by the Lithuanian Energy Agency together with the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Its purpose is to prepare a model for the transformation of our country's energy system after a comprehensive assessment of the Lithuanian energy sector and to present proposals on how Lithuania can become a fully self-sufficient country with electricity as soon as possible and achieve 100% electricity consumed in Lithuania would be produced from renewable energy sources (RES).
The results of the energy system model study will be a set of various energy models that will form a general model of the transformation of the Lithuanian energy system. Using it, the main energy transformation scenarios will be simulated. The model study will become the basis for updating and clarifying strategic planning documents in the field of energy.

Litgrid experts are actively involved in the preparation of electricity market models and the vision of the development of the transmission network in the evaluation of different RES development scenarios predicted for the years 2030, 2040, 2050. It is expected that the detailed results of the study will allow a more accurate assessment of long-term electricity transmission network development scenarios, more effective investment planning, and project prioritization taking into account system reliability and stability, generation and consumption, and market development trends.
In 2024, the first study report was prepared, presenting intermediate results for 2030. You can get acquainted with the studio here https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy24osti/89564.pdf.
The One Network for Europe (OneNet) project aims to contribute to the vision of a unified European electricity grid by creating a common trading and exchange platform. On this platform, facilities that can regulate their capacity to consume, produce or store energy, regardless of their physical location, applied technologies and whether they are small consumers or large traditional power plants, could provide their resources in a transparent, fair and open manner on equal terms to network operators through the market for flexibility services.
In creating one unified European electricity system, great challenges are faced in order to find a common solution that meets the different needs, specifics and technical requirements of system operators. At the end of 2020, Litgrid joined this international project, which, together with the Energy Distribution Operator (ESO), involved more than 70 different partners, including transmission and distribution network operators, energy exchange operators, flexibility service providers and other partners from all over Europe. The project had four demonstration groups by region. Together with ESO, Litgrid participated in the Northern cluster, which also included Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia and Latvia.
This project aims to create a flexibility service delivery framework that defines the roles of stakeholders, data exchange, standardizes and details new flexibility products, and demonstrates the procurement and operation model of these products among the different parties involved. In the second quarter of 2024, the company completed the implementation of the project and, within the scope of this project, together with ESO and Kaunas University of Technology (KTU), performed demonstrations in which KTU's hybrid energy system was connected to the distribution network. This system consists of electricity and heat devices (English Power to Heat), renewable energy sources, heat and electricity storage devices, which provided flexibility services to the transmission system operator based on the new congestion management network product developed in the scope of the project.
One of the fundamental directions of the implementation of the National Energy Independence Strategy of the Republic of Lithuania adopted by the decision of the Parliament on 21 June 2018 establishes the connection of the electricity system of the Republic of Lithuania to the continental European networks for operation in a synchronised mode (the Synchronisation).
Following a full-fledged integration of Lithuania into the European electricity system in 2025, the European system management standards will be introduced in the electricity sector ensuring management of electricity flows based on market principles and participation in maintaining the system's frequency.
A timely implementation of the synchronisation programme in the most economically efficient manner is one of the most important objectives of Litgrid.
In March 2024 the Government of the Republic of Lithuania approved the list of the energy projects carried out in implementing the synchronisation of the electricity system. Litgrid is responsible for the implementation of 20 out of 22 projects included in this list.
According to the requirements of the Republic of Lithuania Law on the Protection of Objects of Importance to Ensuring National Security, before the conclusion of transactions that comply with the requirements of this law, in all cases Litgrid informs the Commission for Coordination of Protection of Objects of Importance to Ensuring National Security about such transactions. Such transactions are concluded only upon the receipt of the commission's conclusions.

EBITDA = operating profit + depreciation and amortisation + impairment loss + write-offs.
Adjusted EBITDA is a recalculated EBITDA by considering temporary regulatory deviations from the regulated profitability indicator approved by NERC. The adjusted EBITDA is calculated by assessing a revenue adjustment for the prior periods, which has already been approved by NERC's decision when establishing regulated prices for the reporting period, and by assessing deviation of an actual profitability from a reporting period profitability permitted (regulated) by NERC, which will be assessed when establishing regulated prices for the upcoming year by NERC.
Adjusted Net Profit = Actual Net Profit + (Adjusted EBITDA - EBITDA) x (1-15%)

The adjusted EBITDA of the Company was increased by:
-EUR 6 million additional tariff components for investment financing.
Adjusted EBITDA of the Company was reduced by:
EUR 1.5 million less income from unregulated activities (nonpayment for contractors and other income);
EUR 0.9 million higher NERC unrecognized operational costs;
EUR 0.6 million other changes, of which EUR 0.5 million less accounting of servitudes in the property.
In the calculation of half year 2024 adjusted EBITDA, the following EBITDA adjustments were made:
added EUR 6.6 million 2022 the difference between the allowed and the actual return on investment of the transmission service, by which the 2024 first half transmission service revenue;
EUR 10.5 million was taken away – the difference between the actual and permitted 2024 calculated by the company and not yet confirmed by the auditor and NERC, first-half transmission service investment returns, which should reduce transmission revenues in subsequent years;
EUR 11.8 million - the company's calculated and not yet confirmed additional services of the auditor and NECR in HY 2024 difference between costs and income.

MANAGEMENT REPORT (All amounts are in EUR thousands unless otherwise stated)

The following adjustments have been made to the calculation of the adjusted net profit for the first half of 2024:
The increase in adjusted net profit was mainly due to a EUR 1 million improvement in the financial result and a EUR 4.5 million change in adjusted EBITDA, and mainly due to a EUR 0.9 million increase in depreciation, impairment (reversal) and amortisation charges.

Adjusted ROE (last 12 months) increased from 7.5% to 12.3% mainly due to an increase in adjusted net profit.
