Vija Pakalkaite Publishes a Commentary on Baltic Gas Supply Independence

LNG vessel "Independence" arrives to the Lithuanian shores of the Baltic Sea. Author: Vija Pakalkaite

Vija Pakalkaite, doctoral candidate from the Department of Public Policy and a researcher at CEU Energy Policy Research Group (EPRG, energy.ceu.hu) on November 03 published a commentary in Natural Gas Europe about the very first liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal of the Baltic States, called “Independence”.

In the article ‘Baltic States’ Gas Supply Independence – A Few More Years to Wait’, Pakalkaite states that as the decision and persistence of the Lithuanians to build an LNG terminal will inevitably influence the market of all three Baltic States, past decisions by the Latvians next door regarding their natural gas market may yet prevent an accelerated integration of the Baltic energy market.
