1.2.1. to reorganise or privatise heat generating enterprises;

1.2.2. to obligate heat suppliers to purchase heat conforming to quality, supply reliability and environmental requirements from independent heat producers selling heat at a price (taking into account its transmission costs) lower than the generation cost of the heat supplier or than the prices offered by other independent heat producers (taking into account its transmission costs);

1.2.3. to create more favourable conditions to use different types of fuel (low sulphur heavy fuel oil, domestic heating fuel, liquefied gas, wood, its pellets, straw) for heat generation, as well as to aim at ensuring better accessibility of these fuels to small-sized heat producers.

2.1.1. to balance the interests of the State, municipalities, energy enterprises, legal and natural persons or their groups when supplying consumers with heat and energy resources for heat generation;

2.1.2. to accelerate the introduction of technological innovations, to diversify fuels and to reduce emissions from heat generating facilities, while retaining the current district heating systems where their use is environmentally and economically feasible and efficient, as well as making better use of the advantages of these systems;

2.1.3. to follow the national priorities of the energy sector, the rational development of combined heat and electric power generation, the efficient use of the existing indigenous and renewable energy resources, as well as to take into account the current and forecasted infrastructure of the energy sector in accordance with the security, reliability and environmental criteria for energy supply;

2.1.4. to provide consumers with a possibility to choose a desirable method of heating in buildings in planned new housing areas.

3.1.1. to modernise the Vilnius and Kaunas CHP plants and to construct a modern demonstrational CHP plant in Panevėžys;

3.1.2. to construct CHP plants in Šiauliai and Klaipėda by 2015;

3.1.3. to construct CHP plants of approximately 400 MW capacity in Alytus, Marijampolė and other cities by 2020.

3.3.1. the electricity generated by CHP plants would account for at least 35% of the total electricity balance;

3.3.2. the heat generated by CHP plants would account for at least 75% of the total district heat balance.

4.2.1. to aim at ensuring that the content of sulphur dioxide in gas emissions from boiler-houses and power plants would not exceed the standards established in legal acts;

4.2.2. from 2015, to burn only natural gas in the 2^nd and 3^rd CHP plants in Vilnius, the Kaunas CHP plant, as well as Petrašiūnai and Mažeikiai co-generation plants or to install fume desulphurisation equipment in these plants.

4.3.1. ensuring that the heat generated from indigenous, renewable and waste energy resources would account for 17% of the total heat generation balance in 2010, and 23% – in 2020;

4.3.2. constructing, by 2010, 2 or 3 small CHP plants burning wood, its waste, straw and other renewable resources.

4.4.1. by 2010 – in Vilnius (intended annual capacity – approximately 200 000 tonnes of domestic waste);

4.4.2. after 2010 – in Alytus, Kaunas and Klaipėda.

4.5.1. to draw up the necessary documents and develop a system for implementing the mechanisms defined in the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and European Union legislation;

4.5.2. to improve the environmental taxation system promoting to increase energy efficiency and to reduce negative impact on the environment, pursuing the principle that all polluters should pay for pollution.
