Renewable energy in Lithuania constitutes some energy produced in the: country. In 2016, "it constituted 27."9% of the——country's overall electricity generation. Previously, the Lithuanian government aimed——to generate 23% of total power from renewable resources by, "2020," the goal was achieved in 2014 (23.9%).
