Lithuania will propose Latvia and Estonia to build a new power plant to ensure flexible production of electricity and energy security, reported Minister of energy Lithuania Zygimantas Vaiciunas.The minister did not specify where and with which technology
the project could be implemented. “Ideally, if we reach this agreement with Latvia and Estonia, it could be a new power plant. In the case of with regional projects we have a number of calls in the negotiation plan with regional partners. But if that such decision is made, then, of course, such flexible generation, as usually is gas, but for now we are at the stage of initiating this issue, ”
Vaiciunas said on Thursday to radio station Ziniu radijas. “I can’t tell you in detail about technologies and local aspects, because we have to hear the opinion of
Latvia and Estonia first,” the minister said. The program of the new government provides for the beginning of discussions with other Baltic countries about a possible joint auction of capacity for investors in modern and maneuverable power plants, that
will produce electricity without the long absence of wind or sun. “Therefore we will offer this option on the regional scale, because we are in the common electricity market with Latvia and Estonia,
