“…Concretely, the Union has set five ambitious objectives -on employment, innovation, education, social inclusion and climate/energy -to be reached by 2020. Each Member State has adopted its own national targets in each of these areas (Hallegatte, et al, 2011;Balitskiy, et al, 2014;Balitskiy, et al, 2016;Białowąs, 2015). Concrete actions at EU and national levels underpin the strategy.…”

Energy security is one of the most important indicators of sustainable regional development and "green" growth in implementation of EU strategy Europe 2020. It can provide the harmonized development and cohesion of "old" and "new" EU member states. Our paper conducts a comparative study of energy dependency and energy security indicators in the Baltic States. The Baltic countries achieved enormous progress in the use of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency since their EU accession in 2004. The increase of renewable energy capacities in Baltic States also contributed to the reduction of energy intensity and carbon intensity of economy and energy import dependency. Our results show that amongst all three states, it was Estonia that had achieved the best results in increased use of renewables and energy efficiency improvements and had distinguished itself with the best indicators and economic and regional policy outcomes.

Abstract. Many regions, not only in the Europe, introduce plans for the modernization of energy systems so that in a few or several years most of the demand for electricity was being able to cover using renewable energy sources. The aim of this paper is to present the possibility of estimation of appropriate power supply based on the renewable energy sources in the context of the whole energy system in the annual balance, taking into account the technical and the economic optimization strategies. The article presents also the simplified structure of the 100% renewable energy system supported by energy storage systems and the production of synthetic fuels.

“…Developing countries (90 countries) have confirmed the conservative hypothesis, although a panel of 32 lower middle-income countries have suggested that energy consumption per capita has predicted real GDP per capita. The paper of Balitskiy et al (2016) evaluated the relationship between energy efficiency, consumption of the natural gas and economic development in the European Union over the period of 1997 -2011. It has become obvious that the increasing economic output in the EU countries results in the growing consumption of the natural gas.…”

“…Over the years, key concepts have been analyzed with the aim to explain their effects on variability of growth (Pirlogea and Cicea, 2012). From the theoretical point of view, unidirectional, bidirectional and neutrality approaches have prevailed in the latest studies (Adewuyi and Adeniyi, 2015;Ahmed and Azam, 2016;Balitskiy et al, 2016;Ee, 2016;Mutascu, 2016;Saidi and Hammami, 2015;Shahzad et al, 2017;Trost and Bojnec, 2015) examining the relationships among energy consumption, export and economic growth. Despite the fact that the results of the studies have varied across the countries, the relationships between energy consumption, export and economic growth may be described as one of these three types of relationships.…”

This paper has aimed to examine the causal relationships between energy consumption -economic growth, export -energy consumption and export -economic growth in Lithuania during the period of 1998 -2015. Descriptive statistics analysis and econometric techniques have been applied for this purpose. Granger causality test has been used to a time series data set to determine the causality between variables. The results of Granger causality test have shown unidirectional causality running from GDP to energy consumption, from export to GDP and from export to energy consumption. It is obvious that GDP and export play significant roles in accelerating energy consumption in Lithuania. The determination of the causal links between energy consumption -economic growth, exporteconomic growth and energy consumption -export has provided policy makers with the main insights to formulate future policy directions for sustainable economic development in Lithuania.
