Vija Pakalkaite, Doctoral Candidate of the Department Of Public Policy, publishes a commentary on Baltic gas supply independence

Vija Pakalkaite, doctoral candidate from the Department of Public Policy and researcher at CEU Energy Policy Research Group (EPRG, energy.ceu.hu) published a commentary on November 03 in Natural Gas Europe about the very first liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal of the Baltic States, called “Independence”.

In the article ‘Baltic States’ Gas Supply Independence – A Few More Years to Wait’, Pakalkaite states that as the decision and persistence of the Lithuanians to build an LNG terminal will inevitably influence the market of all three Baltic States, past decisions by the Latvians next door regarding their natural gas market may yet prevent an accelerated integration of the Baltic energy market.

Natural Gas Europe is an independent organization that provides essential daily reading on European gas matters.
