We are participants of global energy changes. Global energy trends are changing rapidly, and energy transformation is gaining momentum in Lithuania. The National Energy Independence Strategy outlines a clear direction - to provide ourselves with energy resources, develop highvalue exports, ensure energy security, a climate-neutral economy, so that energy changes reach all consumers.
Amber Grid sees itself as a reliable partner on this path of change, creating a hydrogen network, a carbon dioxide ecosystem, further actively developing green gas connection to the transmission network, developing markets and strengthening relationships with existing and future customers.
Looking to the future, we must also take care of the present. We can see that for more than a decade gas will be an important energy resource both to the Lithuanian market and to a regional and European scale. Well-developed infrastructure and international flows oblige us as strategic partners to take care of our customers, the gas transmission system, its security, anticipate possible threats, protect and educate communities living close to gas networks.
In the updated Amber Grid strategy, together with the companies of the EPSO-G group, we have refined the common mission of the group - to accelerate energy independence and enhance system security, the vision - to enable the transformation of the energy industry while simultaneously safeguarding national security interests. In order to achieve our goals, we defined the main directions - to drive future infrastructure, to provide reliability and security, to be vital and skilled strategic partner. We use a variety of enablers to achieve strategic change and goals: financing, innovation and digitization, partnerships, asset development and management, and improving supply chains and procurement.
We are already preparing for changes in the energy system - we would not be able to implement them without the basis of our organization and the main enablers - our people. We are already educating employees to develop new infrastructure, we are raising competences of green energy technologies, we are cooperating with international partners in creating a common European hydrogen network, and we are participating in energy initiatives.
We believe that by joining forces with our partners, the Group's companies, we will successfully develop a dynamic energy sector, contributing to the creation of economic benefits for our country and Europe.

Ensure integrated and efficient management of operations
Enable implementation of Lithuania's and the European Union's sustainable energy strategies

in enabling a climate-neutral energy transition and creating a progressive and sustainable organisation

by providing clear conditions and processes for biomethane producers to access the system and participate in the RES market

integrated with EU gas markets

CREATING ENERGY EXCHANGES scaled-up in the region with gas exchange
We aim to strengthen the gas transmission system. Over the past years, we implemented important strategic projects for the country and the region. In this way, we ensure the security of the country, reliable gas transmission to both Lithuania and the Baltic region. Using EU support, we applied innovative solutions in the gas system and modernized it.

Geopolitical tensions put pressure on energy security and supply chains
Climate actions are increasing in ambition and broadening in scope
Low carbon and digital technologies stimulate investment, jobs and decarbonization

Energy transformation focuses on the development of energy security, networks, cross-sectoral integration and flexibility.
The aim is for RES capacities to grow rapidly, and for demand and energy exports to increase. Lithuania's goal is to transition from fossil methane to green gases. The expansion of RES requires greater system flexibility, utilizing intersystem connections and other cross-sectoral flexibility measures.
