Electricity has been restored to 90% of consumers across Lithuania after a severe storm, but approximately 30,000 households are still without power. Energy company ESO is working to repair the extensive damage, with over 1,000 employees engaged in restoring the network. In some severely affected areas, the power grid needs to be rebuilt entirely.

Temporary power is being supplied to some residents via generators, with more than 300 generators deployed. ESO acknowledged that its initial storm damage forecast was inaccurate. The company is now preparing to offer compensation to residents who have endured prolonged outages.

Individuals experiencing power outages lasting longer than 72 hours will be eligible for compensation of up to 220 euros to cover direct losses. Applications for this compensation can be submitted through ESO's self-service portal starting in September.
