🏛️ Is there a regulated or capped energy price in Lithuania?

The short answer

In some countries the state or the regulator sets or caps the price households pay. In others, prices are free and you compare offers.

📜 The rules in Lithuania

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.

The market

Since 2021 households have had to leave the public supplier in stages and choose an independent electricity supplier; the last stage runs until 2026. Remaining households are still on public supply (Ignitis) at VERT-approved tariffs. If you do not choose, ESO provides temporary guaranteed supply at a higher price.

❓ Questions

Who sets the price?

See the explanation for Lithuania on this page.

Can I go back to the regulated price?

That depends on national rules. Check the official source on this page.

Why is my bill higher than the cap?

A cap may apply to the unit price or a typical bill, not your total. Taxes and your use also count.
