Representatives of Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Ukraine, the United States of America and the European Commission, and energy companies attended the seminar. The event focused on the development of energy infrastructure connections on the EU’s north-south axis, ways to contribute to addressing the region’s current energy security challenges and help Ukraine ensure energy system resilience. The seminar participants also exchanged views on increasing liquefied gas transport capacity, promoting renewable resources, and decarbonising.
The Lithuanian side presented its experience in developing energy storage capacity and the results of the recent test of an autonomous electricity grid. During the event, it was stated that reducing dependence on energy resources from Russia and other non-democratic countries, the diversification of energy resources and the promotion of renewable energy should be a common goal of the Three Seas countries.
The Ambassador-at-large for Connectivity and the Three Seas Initiative Gediminas Varvuolis highlighted the importance of transatlantic cooperation, regional connectivity and achieving the European Green Deal objectives in the region.
It is already the second 3SI event co-organised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Polish Embassy in Vilnius. Last year, a similar event was dedicated to the 3SI cybersecurity and digitalisation.
