As Lithuania strengthens its commitment to renewable energy and energy independence, an increasing number of government-backed subsidies and loan programs are available in 2025 for households and businesses investing in solar panels, wind energy, and energy storage systems.
At Freen, we help clients take full advantage of these opportunities. Our portfolio includes cutting-edge renewable energy solutions—such as wind turbines, solar systems, and lithium-based energy storages—designed for both residential and industrial use. We also guide our clients through the entire grant application process: from early-stage investment planning to preparing technical documentation and submitting funding applications. With our expertise, your green energy project is not only technically sound but also financially supported by national programs.
Below, we break down the most important grants and subsidies available in Lithuania in 2025.

Loans for Energy Storage Systems (Legal Entities)
For companies investing in renewable energy, Lithuania now offers soft loans for energy storage projects through INVEGA—the national development bank. These loans are available to both public and private legal entities developing solar or wind power plants with integrated energy storage.
To be eligible, projects must hold a development permit issued by the National Energy Regulatory Council (VERT). A total program budget is €100 million. If the storage system is used exclusively for storing energy for internal consumption (for instance, storing solar power during the day for evening use), the loan may be granted under preferential conditions with reduced interest rates.
On the other hand, if the system will also participate in grid-balancing or be used for commercial electricity services, standard market conditions apply. Standalone battery parks—i.e., storage systems not connected directly to a renewable power plant—will also become eligible by the end of May 2025.
This program is ideal for factories, industrial parks, and solar farm operators seeking greater energy autonomy. For more information, visit this website.
Residential Support: Subsidies for Home Battery Systems
Lithuania is also encouraging households to increase their energy independence with subsidies for lithium-based energy storage systems. Launched in April 2025, this program offers support for individuals who install a home battery system to store excess solar energy.
The state covers up to:
– €379.73 (incl. VAT) per kWh for lithium iron phosphate batteries.
– €313.81 (incl. VAT) per kWh for lithium-ion batteries.
Homeowners can receive support for up to 15 kWh of capacity, provided the storage system is already installed and registered with ESO (the national Distribution System Operator). The property must also have an operational solar or other renewable system installed.
Applications are open until November 28, 2025, via https://apvis.apva.lt.

Remote Solar Plant Grants: Extended Support for Shareholders
Not all homeowners can install solar panels directly on their roofs—but Lithuania also supports investments in remote solar parks. Individuals who have purchased shares in such parks after February 1, 2022, are now eligible for grants of €323 per 1 kW installed, up to 10 kW per consumption site.
This program has been extended until August 29, 2025, giving more time for participants to apply. It’s an excellent option for those living in apartment buildings or shaded areas where on-site solar isn’t practical. More information on this website.
New Solar Installations: Support for Households
The Lithuanian government also continues to support new solar systems for households. Under the “Next Generation Lithuania” initiative, launched in February 2025, homeowners can claim 18.68% of eligible installation costs for new PV systems.
This applies to:
– Residential houses and garden homes officially registered in the real estate registry.
– Installations that do not exceed 10 kW in total installed capacity (to remain eligible for funding).
Only CE-certified equipment that meets EU performance and environmental standards is eligible. Freen’s technical team ensures that all our installed systems meet these criteria—and we assist with both the technical planning and administrative side of the grant process.
Capacity Expansion Support: Upgrading Existing Solar Systems
For those who installed solar systems in previous years but did not increase capacity, a smaller program is now available for capacity expansion. With a remaining budget of €709,000, this grant covers approximately 14% of eligible expenses for adding more panels—again, limited to a total of 10 kW of subsidized capacity per site.
