ProBaltic Consulting has helped more than 15 Lithuanian manufacturers secure grants for solar power plants and energy storage between 2017 and 2026 — from food processing and furniture production to metalworking.
The challenge
For manufacturing SMEs, energy is one of the largest cost lines, and customers and supply chains increasingly demand demonstrable carbon-footprint reduction. Each company needed the right instrument for its situation: an energy audit first, a solar plant, a storage unit — or a combination.
What we did
We built a repeatable funding pathway and ran it across the portfolio: eligibility assessment, instrument selection (solar PV, energy storage, energy audit measures), application preparation and audit coordination. The same disciplined sequence — audit evidence first, investment application second — kept the success rate high across very different industries.
Why manufacturers keep choosing solar
Self-generated solar power attacks the cost line directly: production happens in daylight, when generation peaks, so a correctly sized plant offsets purchased electricity at its most expensive. Storage extends that effect, and the funded audit quantifies it in advance — turning the investment decision into arithmetic rather than faith.
The result
Fifteen-plus funded projects cutting energy costs and emissions across Lithuanian industry. For each company the grant shortened payback by years; collectively the portfolio is a working demonstration that the clean transition in manufacturing is financed, not just declared.
