Lithuania’s state-owned natural gas transmission operator, Amber Grid, reported a significant rise in regional energy flows and exports following the launch of its “Amber Gas Corridor” initiative.
The project aims to link Finnish and Baltic gas markets with Central Europe and Ukraine, and it has already triggered a 90 per cent increase in gas transport to Poland. Over the three-month period ending in February 2026, system users moved approximately 2.1 terawatt-hours of gas through the GIPL interconnection point between Lithuania and Poland. The majority of volumes were directed toward Ukraine. The market interest seems to remain high, a presentation event held on 19 February attracted 285 registered participants from 164 companies.
“The Amber Gas Corridor initiative was created not only to better integrate the gas markets of Finland and the Baltic countries with Poland, Central, and Eastern Europe, but also to respond to Ukraine’s need by providing access to reliable infrastructure in our region,” said Nemunas Biknius, CEO of Amber Grid. “The current energy situation in Ukraine increases the strategic importance of this route. The corridor gives Ukraine the opportunity to supply itself with gas from LNG terminals in our region. The increased gas flows confirm that the Amber Gas Corridor is a strategically important route.”
