In turn, consumers in this group (who consume 5 MWh of electricity per year) still have until December 10 to choose a supplier.
If the consumer does not agree to share the data, he will have to look for information about the suppliers and request their offers, BNS told the Energy Distribution Operator (ESO).
If you do not object, ESO will transmit the data to independent providers: consumption for 12 months (from June last year to the end of May this year), address, contact details (phone and email). The operator is obliged to transmit this data in accordance with the law, unless the consent of the consumer is expressed.
Residents who have chosen and signed a contract with an independent provider for December will already receive their services from January 1 of the next year, and the previous contract with a public provider (Ignitis) will no longer be valid.
The liberalization of the electricity supply market to households is taking place in stages. Consumers who consume between 1 and 5 MWh of electricity per year enter the second stage, they will have to make similar decisions next year (although they can do so earlier), while those who consume less (up to 1 MWh per year) will enter the third stage and they will have to decide in 2022..
In August, the State Energy Regulatory Council (VERT) announced that the choice of independent suppliers was increasing in Lithuania. In June, six providers supplied electricity to domestic customers: Elektrum Lietuva, Enefit, Abotis, Green Genius and Ignitis (which operates as two separate providers: public and independent), and in May there were five.
In May, the Seimas approved the full liberalization of the electricity supply market. Currently, the majority of the population buys electricity from the Ignitis company, which belongs to the state holding Ignitis grupė, and the price is regulated by VERT.
