What Ignitis group does

Ignitis Group (AB "Ignitis grupė") is a Vilnius-headquartered, state-owned integrated energy corporation operating across Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, and Finland. Listed on Nasdaq Vilnius and the London Stock Exchange (via GDRs), the group is 100% owned by the Republic of Lithuania through the Ministry of Finance and employs approximately 4,800 people. It runs four business segments: Green Capacities (2.1 GW of installed wind, solar, hydro, and battery storage), Networks (regulated electricity and gas distribution via ESO, with 1.3 million+ smart meters), Reserve Capacities (Kruonis pumped storage, Vilnius and Kaunas CHPs, Elektrėnai complex), and Customers & Solutions (retail electricity, gas, and EV charging serving 1.5+ million customers). Major assets include the 314 MW Kelmė wind farm (largest in the Baltics, COD June 2025), 1,010 MW Kruonis Pumped Storage, a 291 MW battery storage portfolio (commercial operation 2027), and up to 600 public EV fast-charging stations across the Baltic states.

The group's business model blends regulated, tariff-based network revenue with merchant and contracted renewable generation, reserve capacity payments, and retail energy supply, generating FY2025 Adjusted EBITDA of EUR 546.1 million against an EUR 550–600 million guidance. Revenue is supported by long-term debt facilities from supranational and commercial lenders (EIB, EBRD, NIB, MUFG), and the 2026–2029 strategic plan targets EUR 2.5–3.0 billion of investment to reach 4–5 GW of installed green capacity and EUR 640–700 million of Adjusted EBITDA. Recent strategic actions include the EUR 318 million Kelmė project financing, a EUR 120 million debut asset rotation of Vilnius CHP to Quaero Capital, full control of the Curonian Nord offshore wind project, and long-term access to 4 TWh/year of Klaipėda LNG regasification capacity through 2044. A leadership transition is also underway, with Group CEO Darius Maikštenas's second term ending February 2027 and subsidiary CEO Arturas Bortkevicius being succeeded by Andrius Kavaliauskas in July 2026.
