OECD Inventory of Support Measures for Fossil Fuels: Country Notes
This new web format for Country Notes on Fossil Fuel Support provides interactive on-line access to the latest data from the OECD Inventory of Support Measures for Fossil Fuels by country – identifying and estimating the value of support arising from policies that encourage the production or consumption of fossil fuels. The web version allows users to download, share and play with the data. Interactive graphics enable data visualisation, in national currency, by beneficiary and by energy product. These Country Notes provide, for each of the 50 economies covered in the Inventory, a snapshot of energy market structure, the current state of energy prices and taxes, and recent developments and trends in fossil fuel support. Data and country notes for the EU Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries have been collected and prepared as part of the GREEN Action Task Force.

Lithuania
The Lithuanian energy sector is largely fossil fuel based. In 2018, fossil fuels accounted for 77% of the country’s total energy supply (TES), excluding net electricity import. Fossil fuel share in TES increased substantially in 2010, following the closure of the Ignalina nuclear power plant in 2009, in accordance with the requirements for accession to the EU. In the following decade, Lithuania became increasingly dependent on energy imports (Lithuania’s energy dependency ratio was 74.7% in 2018, well above the EU average of 55.1%). Drawing from this trend, the reduction in dependence on imported energy sources and on fossil fuels are key energy goals advanced by the National Energy Independence Strategy.
