“A special situation in Vilnius, where there is the highest price growth. According to the latest prevailing trends in gasoline prices, we see that the increase can reach up to 70 percent, “said Matas Taparauskas at the Seimas Budget and Finance Committee on Friday.
According to him, the biofuel production unit of the Vilnius cogeneration plant, whose construction is delayed, would have mitigated the price jump. According to M. Taparauskas, by increasing heat production from biofuels, it was possible to reduce the impact of gas prices on heating prices by approximately 20 percent.
Now in Vilnius 44 percent. heat is produced by gas.
At that time, in Kaunas, Klaipėda and Panevėžys, due to the small share of gas in heat production, according to the VERT representative, it will become more expensive by up to 20%, and in Šiauliai, where more gas is burned, the price growth of around 30% is expected.
According to M. Taparauskas, on average two-thirds of the price of heating in Lithuania is the price of fuel: the price of gas has increased 2.6 times this year and biofuel, by 40 percent, although its price is still higher. lower than in 2018-2019. .
