Abstract

The objective of the paper was to identify the potential of rural areas in Lithuania for the development of renewable energy. The research material and source of information were legal acts of Lithuania regarding the Programme of Rural Development for 2014-2020 of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Lithuania and National Energy Independence Strategy of 2018 Ministry of Energy, statistical data of the Department of Statistics of Lithuania and reports of institution related to renewable energy. The research covers the years 2007-2018 with a perspective up to 2050. The analysis shows that the share of renewable energy in the energy sector will continue to grow mainly due to the policy chosen by the state regarding energy security and environmental protection. Rural areas have a chance to take advantage of the state policy in order to improve their economic situation, including implementing innovations, reducing agricultural production costs, improving the local labor market and broadening and diversifying economic activity in general. The analysis shows that the largest share in RES will be played by wind and solar energy, and the share of biomass production will decrease.<br/><br/>
