On cooperation between Poland and Lithuania in the area of energy

15.03.2021

Polish and Lithuanian cooperation in the field of energy is the main subject of talks at the meeting of Minister of Climate and Environment, Michał Kurtyka, with the Lithuanian Minister of Energy Dainius Kreivys. The event, which took place on 12 March 2021, was also attended by the Government Plenipotentiary for Strategic Energy Infrastructure, Piotr Naimski, and the Deputy Minister for Climate and Environment, Adam Guibourgé-Czetwertyński.

Flagi Polski i Litwy

As emphasised by the Minister of Climate and Environment, Michał Kurtyka, Lithuania is for Poland an important partner in strengthening regional energy security.

Our close relations on energy security are reflected in the Memorandum on enhanced strategic energy cooperation, signed by our countries’ ministers of energy during previous intergovernmental consultations in March 2018. Actions to strengthen regional security of electricity and natural gas supply is particularly important in our relations. Poland fully supports the synchronisation of the Baltic States with the European Network of Transmission System operators for electricity through LitPol Link and Harmony Link DC cable, said the minister of climate and environment.

The meeting also discussed measures for the development of offshore wind energy. As Minister Michał Kurtyka emphasised, Poland focuses on the development of national offshore wind projects and the challenges that their integration poses to the national energy system and the electricity network.

Offshore wind energy is a priority and one of the pillars of the energy transformation in Poland. We strive to ensure the most favourable conditions to support this goal. We want offshore wind farm projects in Poland to use proven but at the same time advanced technology, said the minister.

We are pleased that Lithuania has joined the Baltic Declaration in September 2020 to strengthen regional cooperation in the offshore wind projects. Lithuania has a similar starting point and development conditions for offshore wind farms, i.e. depth, distance from shore, wind speed, he pointed out.
