AB “Ignitis grupė” (hereinafter – the Group) informs that, pursuant to the Methodology for determining the price caps for electricity transmission, distribution and public supply services (link in Lithuanian) (hereinafter – the Methodology), on 16 October 2026, the National Energy Regulatory Council (hereinafter – NERC) adopted resolutions on the long-run average incremental cost (LRAIC) accounting model for the upcoming 2027–2031 electricity regulatory period and on the price caps for electricity distribution services and other regulatory components applicable to AB “Energijos skirstymo operatorius” (hereinafter – ESO) for 2027 (hereinafter – the Resolutions) (link in Lithuanian).

With regard to the upcoming 2027–2031 electricity regulatory period, continuity and stability of the regulatory framework have been maintained, with no significant changes to the Methodology.

The approved price caps and other regulatory components for 2027 are detailed in the table below:
