Last week in Lithuania, the wholesale price per megawatt-hour increased by 14% to 52.30 euros.
As the Telegram channel “Sputnik Near Abroad” writes, the rise in prices in the republic was influenced by a reduced flow of electricity from Sweden, a drop in production and an increase in consumption. For comparison, in Latvia and Estonia the cost of electricity remained the same as in the previous week – 43.92 euros per megawatt-hour.
“At the same time, Vilnius basically refuses to buy electricity from BelNPP. Counteracting the station in Ostrovets is almost the main task of Lithuanian foreign policy”, – the channel’s authors report.
