These amendments set long-term renewable energy targets for all sectors, including an ambitious target to reach 100% of the renewable electricity production in relation to Lithuania’s gross final consumption by 2045. Amendments also provide more certainty and clarity for investors, set the body responsible for consulting and methodological assistance on activities in the electricity sector. More information can be found on the Lithuanian Parliament webpage here (in Lithuanian) Entry into operation of an information system for recharging points for electric vehicles (reference B.1.2.3. in the Lithuanian Recovery and Resilience Plan) To create favourable conditions for business and citizens to operate clean vehicles, a dedicated IT system and a website were created and launched in June 2022. The system will provide users real time information on available public recharging and alternative fuel filling infrastructure. The system is expected to make the use of clean vehicles more attractive, to make the operation of clean vehicles more convenient and contribute to the creation of optimal network of recharging and refilling points. Prior to the entry into operation of this information system, there was no unified information system available for recharging points in Lithuania.

Innovation Agency started its activities in April 2022 and provides one-stop-shop services for businesses seeking advice and support. The reform has significantly reduced fragmentation in Lithuania’s innovation support system and is expected to make public innovation support measures more effective.

The Law, which entered into force in July 2021, granted single disabled and elderly persons an additional monthly benefit, reducing the risk of poverty and social exclusion in one of the most vulnerable groups of the society.
