Litgrid, the Lithuanian electricity transmission system operator (the TSO), secures stable operation of the national electricity system, controls electricity flows and creates conditions for competition in the open electricity market.
Main activities of Litgrid: responsibility for maintaining the balance between electricity consumed and produced in the system and reliable transmission of electricity, implements strategic national electricity projects. Its vision and strategic operating guidelines are based on the long-term goals identified in the National Energy Independence Strategy (the NEIS).

The most important activity areas and responsibilities of the Lithuanian TSO include: maintenance of the country's electricity infrastructure and its integration with the Western and Northern European electricity infrastructure; development of the electricity market and participation in the creation of a single electricity market of the Baltic and European countries; and integration of the electricity systems of Lithuania and continental Europe for synchronous operations. In implementing the programme on the synchronisation with the European continental networks, the Company carries out 20 projects of strategic importance approved by the Government of the Republic of Lithuania.
By systematically carrying out its daily functions, ensuring uninterrupted and smooth operation of the electricity transmission system, and implementing projects of national importance, the Company aims to create value for its customers and clients.
Litgrid not only transmits electricity via 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 that any faults are rectified as soon as possible. Reliability of electricity supply is the key to economic growth.

Litgrid is a Lithuanian-wide electricity transmission system operator. The company is in charge of high-voltage electricity transmission network and maintains the stable operation of the country's electricity system, manages electricity flows and creates conditions for competition in the free electricity market, is responsible for the integration of the Lithuanian electricity system into the European electricity network and the common 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. Power lines are connected in power substations with higher and lower voltage switchgear and transformers connecting them. In substation transformers, the voltage is reduced to the voltage of the distribution networks.
Electricity transmission activities are licensed. The prices of the electricity transmission service are regulated by the National Energy Regulatory Council (NERC), setting price caps for these services. The company operates under natural monopoly conditions.
The electricity transmission service is electricity transmission over high voltage (330 kV 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. Electricity transmission is an activity regulated by the state.
The main activities of the TSO include management of the high voltage electricity transmission network and securing reliable, effective, high-quality, transparent, and safe transmission of electricity.
In order to maintain reliable system operations, Litgrid purchases from energy generating companies the services for the capacity reserve assurance at the electricity generation facilities, reactive power and voltage management, and emergency, disruption prevention and response services, isolated operation mode services and provides consumers with system services. The capacity reserve is needed when electricity production suddenly and unexpectedly falls or its consumption increases.
Litgrid ensures a balance between production and consumption of electricity in the country. Imbalance electricity is electricity that is consumed or produced outside of established electricity consumption or production schedules. Litgrid organises trade in imbalance electricity, buys and sells imbalance electricity that is necessary to ensure the country's electricity production and consumption balance.
Balancing electricity is electricity that is bought and/or sold on instruction of the transmission system operator as electricity necessary for performing the function of balancing the country's electricity consumption and production. Litgrid organises trading in balancing electricity by auction. The auction participants are the suppliers of balancing energy and the TSOs of other countries possessing technical facilities that enable them to quickly change the electricity generation and consumption conditions and having concluded a relevant agreement with Litgrid.
Public service obligations (PSO) in the electricity sector are services that ensure and enhance the national energy security and promote integration and use of electricity produced from renewable energy sources. The list of PSO services, their providers and procedures for the provision of PSO services are approved by the Government of the Republic of Lithuania, or an institution authorised by it, having regard to the public interests in the electricity sector. PSO funds are funds that are paid to the providers of PSO services.

Connection of power generation equipment that uses wind, biomass, solar energy, or hydropower to the transmission network as well as the transmission network's optimisation, development and/or reconstruction related to the acceptance and transmission of electricity generated by producers that use renewable energy sources;
Balancing of electricity produced from renewable energy sources.

A guarantee of origin is a certificate proving that the energy is produced from renewable sources. The guarantee of origin is valid for 12 months from the date of issue.
Guarantees of origin can be of two types:
"Litgrid's direct customers are the electricity transmission network's users and suppliers of imbalance and balancing electricity.
Users of the transmission network include:
ESO and Dainavos Elektra UAB the distribution network operators;
Electricity consumers whose electrical installations are connected to the electricity transmission network and who purchase electricity for use;
Electricity producers connected to the electricity transmission network.
Suppliers of imbalance and balancing electricity include electricity producers and suppliers.
In accordance with the requirements approved by the National Energy Regulatory Council (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 2022 | HY 2021 | HY 2020 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electricity transmission quantity, million kWh | 5,306 | 5,385 | 4,932 |
| Technological costs in the transmission network, % |
3.00 | 2.60 | 2.98 |
| ENS (Energy Not Supplied due to interruptions), Mwh ** |
8.241 | 2.823 | 4.052 |
| AIT (Average Interruption Time), min. ** | 0.264 | 0.099 | 1.138 |
** Only due to the operator's fault or due to undetermined causes.
Criteria for cases in 2022 where ENS and AIT are attributed to the transmission operator's responsibility by the National Energy Regulatory Board (2022 target for ENS not to exceed 27.251 MWh, AIT not to exceed 0.934 min. In 2021 and in 2020, the targets were 6.3 MWh and 0.29 minutes respectively).

Reliably functioning interconnections are an essential part of the system enabling to operate together with the energy systems of other western and northern European countries and develop a single European market. In the first half of 2022, NordBalt and LitPol Link interconnectors with Sweden and Poland increased import and export flows by 38.1%.

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 96.74% of the time throughout HY 2022. The biggest impact for unavailability came from planned works of finishing the LitPol Link expansion.
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 countries. The NordBalt interconnection was available to the market 100% of the time throughout HY 2022.
In Lithuania, Litgrid employees maintain 7 245.4 km of high-voltage lines (6 985.9 km of overhead lines and 259.3 km of cables) and 238 transformer substations and switchyards, 2 HVDC stations.
In order to maintain a stable lifetime of overhead lines and to ensure stable operation of the equipment, during the first half of 2022, 22 110-330-400 kV transformer substations and switchyards underwent overhauls of major equipment, checking of relay protection and automation equipment operation, all planned works were completed, planned maintenance works of overhead lines of 110 kV and above were carried out (194 kilometres in total), during the overhauls a total of 93 units of supports were replaced, and the height of the cables at roads and other intersections were increased in 32 places.
Overhead line protection included the clearing of 752 hectares of overhead lines and the removal of 30 052 trees that pose a risk to the reliable operation of the lines.
The continuous repair and maintenance of transmission network facilities directly affects the operation of the electricity system and the reliability of power transmission. Planned works on the transmission network are carried out at the periodicity established by the legislation of the Republic of Lithuania, but the assessment of the quantities and scope of works is based on the actual condition of the facilities and the need to ensure reliable operation of the network and efficient use of financial resources.
In order to improve the efficiency of grid maintenance and processes, scanning of 110 kV overhead lines with unmanned aerial vehicles and manned helicopters using Lidar systems and cameras was initiated in 2021. All 400 kV, 330 kV and 110 kV overhead lines have now been scanned. From the information gathered, experts assess the actual and recalculated safe distances of the overhead lines from the overhead wires to the ground, roads, vegetation and water bodies, and organise the necessary maintenance work.
A new investment project initiated in 2022, Introduction of new Automated Monitoring Systems (AMS), to monitor the operation of autotransformers, will contribute to improving the reliability of autotransformer operation in the main transmission network facilities. This will involve the installation of five new AMSs at key transmission network sites, including NordBalt and LitPol Link converter stations.
The Company has successfully used AMSs to identify fault locations and causes of faults on overhead lines. High-resolution cameras installed on the drones make it possible to see even minor damage to line wires, supporting structures and other line elements without disconnecting the line. Airline engineers see this innovation as saving them time and improving the reliability of their lines. For inspections of overhead lines and transformer substations and switchyards, 3 drones are used to carry the necessary equipment. Trained Company staff are implementing the objectives of increasing the reliability of line operation and the prompt detection of faults.
Litgrid is an active participant of the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E), which brings together 39 electricity transmission operators from 35 countries.

Representatives of the Company participate, as permanent members, in the activities of ENTSO-E committees and working groups that at the expert level assure secure and reliable European transmission system development while implementing common projects, preparing, and discussing regulations, methodologies and other tasks relevant for all the EU Member States.
Participation in the activities of ENTSO-E, strengthens cooperation with other European transmission network operators and is crucial for Litgrid to implement priority tasks of the Lithuanian energy sector - the integration into the synchronous zone of the continental Europe and transmission grid preparation for National and Regional energy sector transformation.
The purpose of the Baltic Energy Market Interconnection Plan (BEMIP) is to develop operating and integrated electricity and gas market, as well as to ensure the necessary energy infrastructure, by developing a competitive, sustainable, safe energy market in the Baltic Sea region.
The obligations of Lithuania to the BEMIP related to electric energy are implemented by "Litgrid" by means of projects facilitating integration into the synchronous zone of continental Europe and putting in place the preparatory works for the development of offshore wind energy in Lithuania.
In 2020 Litgrid with other six transmission system operators in the Baltic Sea region signed a cooperation memorandum on the development of offshore wind energy in the region. As a result of the memorandum, TSOs established Baltic Sea system development steering committee which with the help of dedicated working groups will focus on regional systema adequacy assurance, harmonized onshore and offshore grid development, and will seek to develop common principles for the planning of the Baltic Sea network and to conduct studies that would help to form a common vision for offshore wind network development in the region.
Liutauras Varanavicius, Director of Strategy department, is appointed as a vice-charman of this steering group.
2021-2022 Lithuanian electricity transmission system operator Litgrid continues cooperation with Japanese energy company TEPCO Power Grid and implements a study intended to assess technical and economic alternatives for offshore wind integration. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the possible different configurations of the grid, their technical parameters, reliability of the system, the newly emerging market opportunities, socio-economic benefits of such projects.
There are five synchronous zones in Europe: the Nordic Area, IPS/UPS, continental Europe, the British and the Irish Area. A synchronous zone is a geographic area in which power generators are connected and operate under the same frequency and at the same rhythm. Lithuanian energy system is currently synchronously operating within the IPS/UPS system of Belarusian, Russian, Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian power ring (BRELL). BRELL is an agreement between national electricity transmission system operators regulating dispatcher control issues within their energy systems. The PSO of the Baltic States seek that BRELL decisions would be compliant with the provisions of the Directives of the European Union. The interests of the parties to BRELL are represented by Belenergo (Belarus TSO), SO EES, Rosseto and FSK EES (Russian TSO), Elering (Estonian TSO), Augstspriegumatīkls (Latvian TSO) and Litgrid.
Other associations at which the interests of the company are represented:
As a member of the above-mentioned associations, Litgrid maintains closer cooperation with regional and national partners, ensures the representation of the interests of the Company, more fluent implementation of strategic projects and communication on issues relevant to the Company.
International practice and the opportunity to contribute to the solutions implemented at the level of European transmission network operators increase Litgrid responsibility by bringing together experts in the Lithuanian electricity sector.
The company is a member of the National Energy Association of Lithuania, which actively communicate with the competent authorities to improve the regulatory environment of the sector, examines various social, political, technical, tax, legal and other issues directly and indirectly related to the activities of its members. Also, a great deal of attention is paid to the promotion of the energy profession - Energy Day events are organized for the staff and the public, participate in the activities of the Lithuanian Energy Seniors Club.

The strategic goal of Litgrid is the integration into the European market. The development of the country's economy also has an impact on the company's operations, goals and targets of the European Union.
Perhaps the biggest challenge for Europe in the first half of 2022 is record high electricity prices. The main drivers of electricity price rises are high gas prices and the uncertain gas supply situation in Europe. As Europe faces gas shortages due to Russian actions, alternative sources of gas supply and other energy sources for electricity generation are being sought.
In southern Europe, the average electricity price for the first half of the year has surpassed the 200 €/MWh mark, with a peak of 247 €/MWh in Italy1 . High electricity prices prevail in countries where fossil-based electricity generation dominates. The Baltic Sea region and Norway were notable for lower prices, with average prices ranging from EUR 16/MWh in the north of Norway to EUR 186/MWh in Germany. This high price differential in the region is due to insufficient capacity between the northern and southern trading zones, especially in Scandinavia, where the northern zones are dominated by low consumption and where most of the generation from hydropower and other renewable sources is concentrated. In contrast, the south of Sweden and Norway has the highest consumption and is dominated by export links to continental Europe.

Already in autumn 2021, gas prices started to climb upwards, crossing the €100/MWh threshold in the last days of December, i.e. a 14-fold increase compared to mid-2020. Towards the end of spring 2022, the gas market normalised and prices started to fall, but the price dynamics changed abruptly as a result of the 24th of February. On 24 February 24, the Russian military action in Ukraine started.
Across Europe, gas prices have reached record levels due to the high uncertainty of gas supplies from Russia and the diversification of European import sources from Russian pipeline gas to LNG imports. Ultra-high gas prices in Europe and the Baltic States have remained throughout the first half of 2022 since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The first half of FY2022 was a very volatile year in the market for emission allowances. At the start of the year, the price of allowances approached the historic level of €100/t, when the market was pricing 1 tonne of CO2 equivalent at €97.5/t. This surge in allowance prices is due to the reform of the European CO2 trading system and the EU's increasingly ambitious environmental requirements.
The gas crisis in Europe led to speculation about the prospects for emission allowances, with prices falling by 40%, but as Europe showed its determination to further accelerate the transition to green energy, the price of emission allowances has stabilised at around €80/t.

In the first half of 2022, electricity imports from third countries came to a definitive halt in Lithuania when the Nord pool exchange suspended the electricity trading permits of UAB Inter RAO Lietuva at the end of May.
1The Italian average price is calculated on the basis of the arithmetic average of the individual marketing zones (IT_SACO_AC, IT_CALA, IT_SACO_DC, IT_CNOR, IT_CSUD, IT_NORD, IT_SARD, IT_SICI, IT_SUD)


In the first half of 2022, Lithuania's domestic electricity generation accounted for one third of the country's consumption, of which two thirds was generation from renewable sources. Wind generation accounted for the largest share of 13% of Lithuania's electricity consumption, hydro and pumped storage accounted for almost a tenth of consumption, while fossil fuels and other renewables accounted for 7% and 5% respectively. The remaining 67% was imported electricity. The majority of imports - 42% were imported via the Latvian interconnectors, 39% via NordBalt, 13% from third countries and 6% via LitPol Link.

Figure 3b: Lithuania's domestic generation by fuel type and distribution of imports by interconnector in the first half of 2022.
By the end of the first half of 2022, a total of twelve countries in the European Union (Austria, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands and Slovakia) had reduced or completely cut off gas supplies from Russia. In Europe, the energy situation remains extremely tense and is further aggravated by the uncertainty of gas supplies through the Nordstream 1 pipeline, with gas imports to Germany cut by almost 40% in June. The suspension of gas imports via Nordstream 1 would result in the underfilling of gas storage in Western European countries to the expected 80% and 90% storage capacity in October and November respectively.

The ongoing gas crisis is spilling over into the electricity market, where gas-fired generation sets the marginal price of electricity, and futures indicate that fuel shortages will be acute in the coming winter and prices will remain extremely high until 2024. German electricity futures for the winter of 2023 are around €400-450/MWh and for the winter of 2024 around €350/MWh. Scandinavia is also experiencing a significant price spike, with winter forwards already reaching the 200 €/MWh mark.

Litgrid's electricity transmission activities are licensed. The licence grants exclusive rights to provide transmission services in Lithuania, so the prices of services are regulated by the state. The regulatory function and supervision of the licensed activities in Lithuania is 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 and gas transmission systems, and the ability to finance strategic projects with its own funds or debt. Electricity transmission prices are regulated through price and/or revenue caps. The allowed level of revenues shall be based on reasonable necessary costs, including a reasonable return on investment. The specific prices for the services, up to the ceilings set, shall be determined by Litgrid, and approved by the Council upon verification and finding that they have been calculated in accordance with the requirements for setting the prices and/or tariffs as set out in the methodologies for calculating the price and/or revenue caps, and that they do not discriminate against consumers and are not misleading.
Price and/or revenue caps for electricity transmission services shall be set for a regulatory period of five years (the duration of the period may be changed by reasoned decision of VERT) and may be adjusted in the event of significant changes in one or more of the factors on the basis of which they have been set, including changes in the volume of services, inflation, charges, other objective factors beyond the control of the operators.
Electricity transmission price ceilings may be adjusted no more than twice a year.

A client-oriented organization and energy competence centre, state-of-the-art technological and digital solutions, sustainable energy development that will double the current generation of electricity, and opportunities for market participants to exchange electricity freely at a competitive price. Such goals are set out in Litgrid's strategy for 2021, approved by the Board of the Company. The strategy envisages Litgrid's long-term vision to become one of the most advanced electricity system operators in Europe.
Litgrid plans to expand in several priority areas. One of the most important is the fight against climate change by developing and adapting the transmission system for the production of electricity from renewable sources and reducing the environmental impact of Litgrid's own infrastructure.
The Company's strategy is reviewed and updated annually taking into consideration the NEIS, the Company's activities and amendments to the legal acts regulating the electricity sector, the strategy of EPSO-G, a holding company of the group, significant events in the Lithuanian and foreign electricity systems and electricity markets, works performed during the year as well as by assessing new external circumstances beyond the Company's control.
The strategy comprises a ten-year (long-term) implementation period based on the main and long-term objectives in the electricity sector laid down in the NEIS. Litgrid is also striving for Lithuania's energy independence by synchronizing the country's electricity system with the continental European networks.
The company starts to develop a digital transformation and implementing a culture and ecosystem of data-driven solutions. One of the components of this change is a service portal that will bring together customers and enable more efficient digital delivery.
The strategy also pays special attention to the development of the organization. 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 obtain it at a competitive price.
The strategy is published at https://www.litgrid.eu/index.php/apie-litgrid/strategija-vizija-misija-ir-vertybes/452.

The implementation of the strategic objectives and the operational plan, performance of the divisions and employees are monitored. The measures stipulated in the operational plan are included in the operating objectives of the divisions and personal performance objectives of employees, the achievement of which at the end of the year determines a variable part of remuneration.
The strategic planning and control mechanism at the Company is based on the Integrated Planning and Monitoring Policy of the EPSO-G Group of Companies which is applied in the activities of Litgrid to a full extent.
Global geopolitical developments have influenced the strategic indicators for the 2022 half-year.
In 2021, an unprecedented situation emerged in electricity markets across Europe, with electricity prices starting to rise sharply in the second half of the year and reaching all-time highs. The situation in Europe remains similar following Russia's war against Ukraine in February 2022, with gas prices at historic highs, which significantly increases the spread between prices in different zones, the cost of raw materials and causes supply chain disruptions.


In the first half of 2022, Litgrid updated the 10 Year Plan for the 400-110 kV Networks of the Lithuanian Power System 2022-2031. It contains forecasts of electricity capacity and energy consumption needs, power plant (generation facility) capacities, an assessment of the adequacy of the electricity system, forecasts of the electricity market and system power capacities and energy balances, as well as information on the electricity transmission network, its development and rehabilitation, innovations and planned investments.
The 10-year network development plan foresees:

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 with the European continental networks for operation in a synchronised mode (the "Synchronisation").
The other Baltic countries also set the same objectives with the support from the EU institutional and regional partners of Poland and the Nordic countries. 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 goals of Litgrid.
The synchronous work with the continental European network will ensure:
On July 2021 the Government of Lithuania approved the list of energy projects to be implemented during the synchronization of the electricity system. From 2021 the synchronization programme has been supplemented by a few projects, Litgrid is now responsible for the implementation of 20 projects.



At the time of the first half-year assessment in 2022, the completion rate of the synchronisation strategic project programme is 46%.
The aim of the project is to reconstruct the Neris transformer substation to enable the planned connection of the synchronous compensator to the transmission grid and the connection of the future 330 kV Vilnius-Neris transmission line. Following the completion of the technical design works, the construction permit for the reconstruction of the Neris substation was obtained on 27 May 2022 and the first on-site works started on 16 June 2022.
The aim of the project is to reinforce the western region electricity transmission network and ensure its reliable operation by forming a new 330 kV transmission line, which is important for the smooth synchronous operation of the Lithuanian electricity system with the continental European electricity networks.
Following the completion of the technical design works, the construction permit for the reconstruction of the Jurbarkas-Bitėnai section (replacement of a single-circuit overhead line with a double-circuit line) was obtained in January 2022. Reconstruction works have been underway since March and are expected to be completed in 2023.
In March 2022, a contract was concluded for the design and contracting works for the reconstruction of the Bitėnai transformer substation, which is needed for the connection of the future 330 kV line Kruonis HAE-Bitėnai in 2025. Design work has started.
The aim of the project is to reinforce the Western region's electricity transmission network and ensure its reliable operation by forming a new 330 kV electricity transmission line, which is important for the smooth synchronous operation of the Lithuanian electricity system with the continental European electricity networks.

Revenue earned by the Litgrid in the first half of 2022 amounted to EUR 145.2 million, a 29.2% increase compared to the same period of 2021.
Revenue from electricity transmission decreased by 5.6% to EUR 37.5 million compared to the same period of 2021. Income decline was driven by 4.2% lower average actual electricity transmission price and lower amount of transmitted electricity which decreased by 1.5% to 5 306 million kWh.
Revenue from disbalance and balancing electricity increased 2.8 times to EUR 53 million due to higher average sale price (3.1 times) while sales quantities decreased by 9.1%. Change in revenue does not affect the Company's profitability because according to disbalance pricing regulation the current year's revenue compensates expenses, including the Company's internal expenses, attributable to this activity according to the rules of the regulation accounting.
Revenue from system services decreased by 20.7% to EUR 36.3 million. The main decrease drivers were the 3.5% decrease in the system services volume and 17.9% lower sale price. According to system services pricing regulation revenue must compensate expenses, including the Company's internal expenses, attributable to this activity according to the rules of the regulation accounting. Difference between revenue and expenses for the N-year is taken into consideration when determining the price of the system services for the n+2 year. In the price for 2022 is evaluated EUR 4.4 million the difference of revenue and cost for 2020, therefore the difference which exceeds EUR -4.4 million in 2022, will reduce revenue and profit for 2024.
Other revenue related to the transmission activity include:
Other income decreased from EUR 1.2 million to EUR 0.6 million due to lower penalties for contactors for late works.

Accordingly, no more than 150 MW of electricity will be allowed to enter through the Lithuania-Russia and Latvia-Russia system interconnectors.
15 March 2022 Litgrid, the Lithuanian electricity transmission system operator, and RB Rail AS, the Baltic joint venture of Rail Baltica, signed a cooperation agreement on the implementation of the Rail Baltica project. The Parties set out in this agreement the main principles of mutual cooperation in the implementation of the project.
The 870 km long double-track track requires more than 2000 km of catenary, ~4350 tonnes of copper catenary element and ~50,000 pilons.
16 March 2022 Litgrid, Lithuania's electricity transmission system operator, has installed new or relocated power autotransformers in ten transformer substations. The electricity transmission network has been reinforced in regions with growing volumes and optimised elsewhere, extending the expected lifetime of the main substation equipment. The total investment in the autotransformer upgrade project amounts to €35.5 million.

14 April 2022 A survey commissioned by Litgrid showed that 4 out of 5 people support the country's strategic goal of disconnecting from the Russian-controlled energy system. Lithuania's ambition to become energy independent and disconnect from the BRELL system is supported by 79% of the population. Compared to the results of the previous poll conducted in autumn last year, support for energy independence has increased by 18%. At the same time, the number of those who disagree and doubt these strategic goals of the State has significantly decreased.
On 20 April 2022, the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of the company approved the nomination of new members of the Board of Directors: the following members of Litgrid's Board were elected: Tomas Varneckas and Gediminas Karalius.
T. Varneckas is the Infrastructure Director of the state-owned energy transmission and exchange group EPSO-G. He is responsible for the Group-wide management of the operation and development of the electricity transmission network and gas transmission system infrastructure, as well as the functional areas of project management, information technology management and innovation. Mr Varneckas formulates and coordinates the implementation of policies in the areas he leads.
Mr Karalius, a civil servant, is Senior Adviser in the Energy Security Group of the Ministry of Energy. He has been selected as a candidate for the Litgrid Board in order to implement the Law on the Protection of Objects of National Security Importance, which stipulates that the collegial supervisory or management body elected by the General Shareholders' Meeting of an undertaking of national security importance of the first and second category must include at least one civil servant. One of its main tasks is to supervise and coordinate the implementation of the synchronisation project, as well as to enhance the security and reliability of the electricity system.
Litgrid's Board of Directors consists of 5 members elected for a 4-year term: two members delegated by the parent company (EPSO-G), two independent Board members and one Board member who is a civil servant.
10 May 2022 Lithuanian electricity transmission system operator Litgrid's project, the first 1 MW battery connected to the electricity grid in the Baltic States, has received international recognition: it was named a finalist in the Outstanding Project category at The Smarter E Award, Europe's largest renewable energy awards. The innovative battery was connected to the grid at the Vilnius substation at the end of last year, and Litgrid specialists successfully completed the testing of the installation this year. They confirmed that the 1 MW battery with a capacity of 1 MWh can contribute to the management of power system parameters.
10 May 2022 The State Energy Regulatory Council approved the updated methodology for the determination and allocation of interconnection capacities with third parties developed by Litgrid AB.
On 20 May 2022, Nord Pool, the operator of the electricity exchange, took a decision to suspend the trading of Russian electricity by the companies of the Inter RAO group, which are the only ones importing electricity from Russia to the Baltic countries.
The trading was carried out by the sole supplier, the Inter RAO group of companies. The decision to suspend trading was taken on 20 May by the electricity exchange operator Nord Pool. Since 22 May, Russian power in the Baltic States has been replaced by local generation and imports from Western and Nordic countries.
1 June 2022 The Baltic electricity transmission system operators - Litgrid of Lithuania, Augstprieguma tikls of Latvia and Elering of Estonia - are balancing the electricity system jointly, while maintaining a BRELL-compliant balance with the Russian electricity system.
1 June 2022 "Litgrid has finalised a deal with UAB Transporent and UAB Mobility Lietuva, under which the electricity transmission system operator will lease 28 electric vehicles and 44 plug-in hybrids.
Until now, 99% of the company's fleet consisted of vehicles powered by internal combustion engines. In the renewed fleet, such vehicles will account for 11%. This decision is one of the steps towards the company's commitment to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by two-thirds by 2030.
29 June 2022 Operators from the nine Baltic Sea Region countries will work together to ensure the adequacy of the region's electricity system. The decision was taken by the leaders of Lithuanian electricity transmission system operator Litgrid, Latvian AST, Estonian Elering, Danish Energinet, Finnish Fingrid, Swedish Svenska Kraftnät, Norwegian Statnett, Polish PSE and German 50Hertz at a meeting of the leaders of the Baltic Sea region's electricity transmission system operators in Tallinn on 28 June

The Company was established as a result of the unbundling of Lietuvos Energija AB operations. The Company was registered with the Register of Legal Entities on 16 November 2010. The Company's code is 302564383.
LITGRID is an operator of electricity transmission system, operating electricity transmissions in the territory of Lithuania and ensuring the stability of operation of the whole electric power system. In addition, the Company is responsible for the integration of the Lithuanian power system into the European electricity infrastructure and common electricity market.
On 27 August 2013, the National Energy Regulatory Council granted a license to the Company to engage in electricity transmission activities for indefinite term.
The principal objectives of the Company's activities include ensuring the stability and reliability of the electric power system in the territory of Lithuania within its areas of competence, creation of objective and non-discriminatory conditions for the use of the transmission networks, management, use and disposal of electricity transmission system assets and its appurtenances.
As at 30 June 2022, the Company's authorised share capital amounted to EUR 146,256,100.20 and it was divided into 504,331,380 ordinary registered shares with the nominal value of EUR 0.29 each. All shares are fully paid.
As at 30 June 2022 and 31 December 2021, the Company's shareholders structure was as follows:
| Company's shareholders | Number of shares held |
Number of shares held (%) |
|---|---|---|
| UAB EPSO-G | 491,736,153 | 97.5 |
| Other shareholders | 12,595,227 | 2.5 |
| Total: | 504,331,380 | 100.0 |
The ultimate controlling shareholder of EPSO-G UAB (company code 302826889, address Gedimino Ave. 20, Vilnius, Lithuania) is the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Lithuania.
As from 22 December 2010, the shares of the Company are listed on the additional trading list of NASDAQ OMX Vilnius Stock Exchange, issue ISIN code LT0000128415.
In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2019/943 of the European Parliament and Council on the internal market of electricity dated on 5th of the June 2019 (hereinafter Regulation), electricity transmission system operators: Litgrid, Elering and AST, 3 May 2022 established the Baltic Regional Coordination Center Baltic RCC OÜ (hereinafter Center), which is responsible for the provision and coordination of security and reliability services for the electricity system among transmission system operators in the Baltic region. As stipulated in the Regulation, Center will implement five main tasks: coordinate capacity of power lines between countries, assess the reliability and adequacy of electricity system, to plan and coordinate of the line outages and develop a common network model.
As at 30 June 2022, the Company had 369 employees (31 December 2021: 335).
These condensed interim Company's financial statements, for the period ended 30 June 2022 are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Accounting Standards, as adopted by the European Union and applicable to interim financial statements (IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting").
In order to better understand the data presented in this condensed interim financial statements, this financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Company's financial statements for the year 2021.
The presentation currency is euro. These financial statements are presented in thousands of euro, unless otherwise stated.
The financial year of the Company coincides with the calendar year.
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for property, plant and equipment which is recorded at revalued amount, less accumulated depreciation and estimated impairment loss, and financial assets which are carried at fair value.
These financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2022 are not audited. Financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 are audited by the external auditor UAB "PricewaterhouseCoopers".
On February 24, 2022, Russia has started a military aggression against the Ukraine. Considering that the Company has no suppliers or customers in the above-mentioned countries, the war in Ukraine caused by Russia in 2022 did not have direct impact on the Company's financial results in the first half of 2022.
Since the fourth quarter of 2021 in the market is observed a quite significant increase in electricity prices, which also causes a significant increase in the costs of compensating the Company's technological losses. The outbreak of hostilities, among other factors, also influences high electricity prices, and at the same time, higher costs of compensating technological losses. In the future, the influence of war could emerge if due to the complex geopolitical situation Baltic countries were disconnected from BRELL. In such case the costs of system services and technological losses are likely to increase. If it happens, the impact on the Company's financial performance would be short term, because the higher system services costs as well as the higher costs of compensating technological losses incurred would be offset by including them in the prices of regulated services in the subsequent years.
The value of some investment projects increased because of the war as the contractors no longer use materials or parts imported from Russia, Belarus or Ukraine. The Company plans to finance the increased demand for investment funds with increased congestion income due to high electricity market prices.
