An inside look: what is the new energy?
New energy represents a transition from traditional forms of energy to innovative solutions, including energy storage and cost-efficient transportation. We focus on providing maximum flexibility for consumers and customers, adapting to change while maintaining our commitments to the market and exploring opportunities to repurpose existing infrastructure. This period of transformation marks our transition into the new energy era, where fossil fuels are being replaced by renewable energy sources, transforming both the way energy is consumed and transmitted.
First and foremost, it is a job where you can learn and discover something new every day. Over the past decades, the energy sector has undergone significant changes, with ambitious renewable energy targets set at both European Union and national levels. New innovative technologies have emerged to enable the production and consumption of clean and sustainable energy. This is essential for tackling climate change and ensuring a sustainable future for both us and future generations. Hydrogen and its derivatives, carbon capture and storage, biomethane, solar and wind energy have become the foundation of the new energy landscape, driving the need to deepen our knowledge and develop new skills in this field.
For me, new energy means digitalisation. It enables more efficient trading of energy resources. Working at Baltpool, I see how data analysis and automated processes help market participants make decisions quickly and ensure the smooth operation of the biomass exchange. The digital systems we develop not only increase trading speed but also provide greater transparency. This is the future.
What does new energy mean to me? It means sustainability and transparency – values that are integral to Baltpool’s everyday operations. Europe is setting increasingly stringent sustainability requirements for biomass, and the systems we develop help market participants meet these standards easily and transparently. The RED BP scheme we administer ensures that biomass trading complies with the strictest EU sustainability requirements. This is not merely a legal obligation, but a real driver of change – a transparent and reliable market builds trust between buyers and sellers. Only this kind of energy can provide a foundation for the future.
Imagine a world where electricity is generated not from polluting power plants, but from solar, wind and other renewable energy sources; where your home can generate its own energy; where cars run without a drop of fuel; and where countries are energy-independent. This is not science fiction – this is new energy, already transforming the way we live.
Working as an office manager at an energy company that is the first energy storage system operator in the region, it is rewarding to know that our work not only contributes to a more sustainable future but also continuously drives innovation. We value reliability, openness, responsibility, diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities, ensuring that every team member feels valued. We are curious by nature and work together with mutual respect every day, enabling our team to be strong, dynamic and committed to continuous improvement.
It is not only about technological progress, but also about a shift in the way businesses and society as a whole think. Today, we are creating not only more sustainable solutions, but also a new approach to energy generation, consumption and environmental impact. The energy transition opens up tremendous opportunities for our country – strengthening competitiveness and national security, attracting investment and accelerating economic growth. Every day here feels like a constant transformation, where we must not only transform the entire sector but also evolve as an organisation. What fascinates me most is this dynamic environment – where uncertainty becomes a stimulus to act and experiment, and what once seemed impossible ultimately becomes reality.
The world is seeking an answer to a major challenge – how to meet humanity’s growing energy needs while protecting the environment. To me, new energy is about finding a way to balance progress with responsibility: tackling climate change and preserving the planet for future generations. EPSO-G’s plans for the future follow this path – increasing the share of electricity consumption covered by renewable energy generation, helping Lithuania and Europe as a whole phase out fossil fuels and strengthen energy independence from third countries. New energy is an opportunity for everyone to contribute, to a greater or lesser extent, to creating a cleaner, safer and more sustainable future.
New energy is the future – a future built on a sustainable, reliable and climate-neutral electricity system. Working in the energy sector gives you the opportunity to contribute to meaningful changes that shape the future and have a long-term impact on our everyday lives and the environment. It is an opportunity to work on exciting projects, shape the infrastructure of the future and participate in international working groups addressing global challenges related to climate change, sustainability and infrastructure security. By joining us, you can embark on a rewarding professional journey where you can continuously develop, discover new opportunities and contribute to transforming Lithuania into a better, more sustainable and innovative place to live.
Through our work, we have proven that we can be bold and ensure Lithuania’s energy independence. As we have no fossil fuel resources, we are among the first in Europe and the world to adopt innovations that enable a stable energy supply through unconventional operating models. We have an ambitious goal for the future: energy should become carbon-neutral and ultimately carbon-negative. The integration of renewable energy sources, optimal development of the energy system, system flexibility solutions, and the protection of critical infrastructure against physical and cyber threats are just some of the strategic directions we are pursuing today. But will they be enough? Will we be able to ensure a secure and independent energy system and a better future for ourselves and our children?
New energy must first and foremost be independent – only then can we live and speak freely, without fear. Another important step for us as a country is to become energy exporters. This would not only provide a strong economic boost, but also serve as an additional security guarantee, enabling us to contribute to the prosperity of Europe as a whole. One path towards this goal is the development of renewable energy – wind, solar and hydrogen parks that would help ensure energy independence and contribute to a cleaner environment. Of course, this will require investment from both the state and all of us. But in my view, this is an investment not only in our future, but also in the future of generations to come.
