Lithuanian government invests in energy efficiency

A state-owned fund launched specifically for coordinating the project will be investing in the renovation of the buildings’ facades and their insulation, as well as in modernization of the buildings’ heating systems.

The vast majority of them was built in 1961–1992. The program’s main goal is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by at least 225,000 tonnes and save 785-885 GWh of energy as compared to 2013. The strategy complies with the EU directives on heating and energy efficiency.
