"We can discuss, for example, small-scale nuclear power plants, but for the time being, we have to focus on the need to produce green energy and, second, we have to diversify our energy purchase sources, which we have already done to a certain extent," Nauseda told the Ziniu Radijas radio station.

Nauseda noted that many countries, "even our neighbors" are talking about nuclear power plants.

"As far as I've heard, Estonia and some other countries... The Netherlands has taken certain decisions," he said.

Lithuania needs to accelerate the restructuring of its energy structure to make it more resilient to future price increases, according to the president.

"I'm talking first and foremost about renewable energy," Nauseda said.

"But I can see from other countries' position, which we discussed in the EU format, that nuclear energy ideas are experiencing a certain renaissance and a significant number of EU countries are talking about the construction of nuclear reactors."

The president underlined that renewable energy holds an increasing share of the country's energy mix.
