据Neftegaz.RU维尔纽斯1月3日消息称，立陶宛列支敦士登能源公司（LET）于2018年底与俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司就2019年天然气采购条款达成协议。这是LET于2018年12月31日宣布的，明确规定只在合同下签字。

LET是利图沃斯能源集团的成员，是立陶宛市场的电力和天然气供应商。按照惯例，该公司已在今年最后几天与Gazprom签署了天然气供应合同。2019年的采购量未公布，但将高于2018年。除了俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司外， LET还计划于2019年购买由挪威Equinor等其他供应商进口的液化天然气。

目前，LET将部分天然气存储在拉脱维亚的Inchukalns Ingas地下储存设施（UGS）中。然而，由于拉脱维亚运营商 Conexus Baltic Grid的关税增加，立陶宛公司在使用该存储设备时，已无利可图。。

近5年来，立陶宛一直在实施能源独立于俄罗斯的政策。2015年，立陶宛在克莱佩达港建立了自己的液化天然气终端，将从挪威Hoegh LNG租赁的液化天然气浮式再气化终端引入立陶宛。对液化天然气终端的希望非常大，预计FSRU将允许立陶宛摆脱俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司的天然气供应。

立陶宛对俄罗斯天然气供应的依赖程度仍然很高，尽管立陶宛正在尽最大努力减少这种依赖。2017年，Gazprom向立陶宛提供了该国54%的天然气（14.41 TWh的天然气），而2016年俄罗斯天然气占比接近40％。然而，在2018年上半年，立陶宛从俄罗斯进口了7.64亿立方米的天然气，比2017年同期减少了4%。 与此同时，立陶宛将液化天然气采购量减少了30％，因为价格昂贵。

FSRU独立性，或者更确切地说是其运营成本，给消费者带来了沉重的负担。立陶宛的能源价格继续快速增长。从2019年1月1日起，居民电价上涨15%以上，不同消费群体的天然气价格将从11.86％上涨到18.42％。2018年12月，立陶宛的Seimas批准购买FSRU自主性，其租期于2024年结束。该终端的购买将使目前运营终端的成本（6100万欧元/年）减少2300-2500万欧元/年。从2019年下半年开始，液化天然气基础设施的维护成本将降低40%。

Lithuania reached an agreement with Gazprom on gas supplies in 2019

Vilnius, Neftegaz.RU. Lithuanian Lietuvos energijos tiekimas (LET) at the very end of 2018 agreed with Gazprom on the terms of gas purchase in 2019. This was announced by LET on December 31, 2018, specifying that it remains only to put the last signatures under the contract.

LET is a member of the Lietuvos Energija energy group, being an electricity and gas supplier to the Lithuanian market. Traditionally, the company has signed a gas supply contract with Gazprom in the last days of the year. The volume of purchases for 2019 is not disclosed, but it will be higher than in 2018 . In addition to Gazprom, in 2019 LET plans to purchase liquefied natural gas ( LNG ), imported by Norwegian Equinor and other suppliers.

Currently, LET stores part of its gas in the Inchukalns Ingas underground storage facility ( UGS ) in Latvia. However, due to an increase in tariffs by the Latvian operator Conexus Baltic Grid, a Lithuanian company becomes commercially unprofitable to use this storage.

For almost 5 years, Lithuania has been implementing a policy of energy independence from Russia. In 2015, Lithuania created its own LNG terminal in the port of Klaipeda, bringing the liquefied natural gas floating regasification terminal leased from the Norwegian Hoegh LNG ( FSRU). The hopes for the LNG terminal were very large, it was expected that the FSRU would allow Lithuania to abandon Gazprom’s gas supplies.

Lithuania’s dependence on gas supplies from Russia remains very high, although Lithuania is trying its best to reduce it. In 2017, Gazprom supplied Lithuania with 54% of all gas consumed in the country (14.41 TWh of gas), whereas in 2016 the share of Russian gas was almost 40%. However, in the first half of 2018, Lithuania imported 764 million m 3 of gas from Russia , which is 4% less than in the same period of 2017. In parallel, Lithuania has reduced the volume of LNG purchases by 30%, because it is expensive ...

FSRU Independence, or rather the cost of its operation, laid heavy burden on consumers. Energy prices in Lithuania continue to grow rapidly. From January 1, 2019, electricity tariffs for the population increased by more than 15%, gas for different consumer groups will rise in price from 11.86% to 18.42%. In December 2018, the Seimas of Lithuania approved the purchase of the FSRU Independence, the lease term of which ends after 2024. The purchase of the terminal will reduce the current costs of operating the terminal (61 million euros / year) by 23-25 million euros / year. It will be easier from the second half of 2019, when the costs of maintaining the LNG infrastructure for consumers will be 40% lower.
