"The report presents important measures aimed at combating local electricity shortages and great poverty in the developing world. Some of the predictions made by the rapporteur are cause for concern – in 2015, probably around 67% of sub-Saharan Africa will still lack access to electricity. Although perhaps it is not quite the same, ordinary Lithuanians are also going through a difficult period. According to Eurostat data between the second half of 2009 and last year, Lithuania saw the highest jump in the price of electricity – 31%. Meanwhile, the EU electricity price rose 5.1% over the same period. Since 1 January 2012, the price of electricity in Lithuania has increased by LTL 0.014/kWh. The decommissioning of the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant was one of the conditions for EU accession and this has significantly altered the structure of electricity generation in Lithuania – the Ignalina power plant met 70% of Lithuania’s electricity requirements. Our leaders do not have a comprehensive and realistic electricity strategy for Lithuania. At the beginning of 2010, Prime Minister Andrius Kubilius stated that nothing bad would happen following decommissioning. We are ready to supply as much electricity as is required. Although nothing bad has happened, the electricity situation for the majority of Lithuanians has become worse."@en1
