The ministry has launched a tender for the analysis of the territory of Lithuania's territorial sea and special economic zone, evaluation of national security requirements and restrictions for the construction of wind farms in the sea, as well impact on the fauna, ship routes and the port expansion plans.
The ministry says tenders for the construction of wind farms in the Baltic Sea could be announced in 2021-2022 at the earliest.
"We need to assess market conditions and environmental impact in 2017-2020," Energy Minister Zygimantas Vaiciunas told a Baltic energy conference in Vilnius last week.
In his words, government decisions paving the way for such tenders are expected in 2020.
Lithuania currently has no wind farms in its territorial waters in the Baltic Sea.
