In Lithuania, electricity from renewable sources is mainly promoted through a feed-in tariff and grants. Renewable energy sources for heating and cooling purposes are exempt from environmental pollution tax and are eligible for grants. Moreover, heat suppliers are obliged to purchase all heat produced from renewable energy sources. Transport sector is promoted through reimbursement of raw materials for biofuel production and an exemption from excise tax and environmental pollution tax.
The operators of renewable energy plants are entitled to priority connection to the grid. The transmission and distribution of electricity from renewable energy sources shall be given the priority. Heating devices using renewable energy sources are connected according to non-discriminatory principles. LITHUANIA RENEWABLE INCENTIVES
Currently, there are only a few legal provisions on policies aiming at promoting the development, installation and use of RES installations. LITHUANIA RENEWABLE INCENTIVES

Grid issues
Heating devices using renewable energy sources are not given priority connection. RES heating devices of independent heat producers are connected to the heat transmission network according to conditions set up and issued by the heat supplier. The heat supplier will, according to non-discriminatory principles, select the connection point for an RES heat generation device of an independent heat producer. The heat supplier shall purchase all RES heat produced by devices connected to the heating network that is cheaper than the heat produced by the heat supplier himself and which satisfies quality, supply security and environmental requirements, unless the supply of RES heat generated by independent heat producers exceeds the consumers’ heat demand.
