Ruling Coalition agrees that Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian companies should continue talks on the Visaginas Nuclear Power Plant

Lithuania's ruling coalition's political council decided during its meeting this week that a group of energy companies including Lietuvos energija (Eng. Lithuanian Energy) along with Latvian and Estonian energy companies should continue talks on the joint Visaginas Nuclear Power Plant (VNPP) project

“On Monday there was approval for Lithuanian Energy to continue working with Latvia and Estonia and to answer their questions. There are a lot of questions from our partners, and, I think, they are right and necessary because it’s a huge investment,” Prime Minister Algirdas Butkevičius said.

According to the Prime Minister, it will take time to answer to the questions. “The list of questions is very large and it will definitely take time to answer them. But despite this, some initial work between the three Baltic States in terms of the common energy market has been done. However, in order to make final decisions, there is still a lot of work to be done," he said.
