On 5 June 2026, the European Commission approved Lithuania’s Social Climate Plan, mobilising EUR 884 million to support vulnerable households and micro-enterprises during the clean transition (“Plan”). The full wording of the decision approving the Plan is available at this link.

The Plan is financed through the Social Climate Fund, combining EUR 663 million from EU funds with national contributions. It aims to address the social impacts of rising energy and transport costs linked to carbon pricing, ensuring that the transition remains fair and inclusive.

In the buildings sector, the Plan supports energy efficiency renovations, covering 50–85% of costs, and expands access to affordable, energy-efficient social housing. It also establishes Energy Advisory Hubs to provide targeted assistance to vulnerable households.

In the transport sector, the Plan promotes sustainable mobility through support for electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, public transport, and micro-mobility solutions such as cycling. Overall, the Commission concluded that the plan provides a long-term response to energy poverty while contributing to climate objectives.
