Renewable Energy Consumption: Lithuania

Analysis# Lithuania Renewable Energy Consumption Lithuania sourced 33.2% of its total energy from renewable sources in 2021, approaching its all-time peak of 33.8% recorded in 2017. This represents a remarkable transformation from 1991, when renewables accounted for just 2.9% of consumption—a gain of 971% over three decades. The country has sustained renewable energy above 31% since 2016, demonstrating consistent commitment to clean energy despite minor year-to-year fluctuations. The steepest expansion occurred between 2012 and 2017, when renewable consumption jumped from 23.9% to 33.8% in five years. A slight contraction to 31.7% in 2020 preceded a rebound to 33.2% in 2021. Lithuania's trajectory suggests a stabilized high-performance baseline in the 31–34% range, positioning the country among Europe's renewable energy leaders and indicating sustained momentum toward deeper decarbonization.
