🤝 Is there help with energy costs in Lithuania?

The short answer

Many countries have a social tariff, a discount or an allowance for people on a low income, and free advice on saving energy.

📜 The rules in Lithuania

Help if money is tight

Vulnerable customers get lower public-supply tariffs. You qualify if your household receives or is entitled to cash social assistance, or you are a person with a disability, or you receive a social assistance pension or compensation.

Regulated price

Households still on public supply pay VERT-approved tariffs. From 1 July 2026 the standard single-zone low-voltage price is 0.240 EUR/kWh, and 0.200 EUR/kWh for vulnerable customers. Public supply is being phased out.
