During 2009, acting as the transmission system operator, Lietuvos Energija
AB
transmitted 9.17 bn kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity for domestic needs.
The
volume of transmitted electricity was lower by 9.3 year-on-year. Due to
the
lower domestic electricity demand, the company sold 46.2 per cent
more
electricity abroad year-on-year, which accounted for 3.47 bn kWh. 
The
2009 performance results of Lietuvos Energija group, as compared to 2008,
were
positively affected by lower operation costs, although the results
were
impaired by an increase in depreciation costs and a decrease in
accounting
value of non-current tangible and non-tangible assets to their fair
value,
having evaluated a drop in construction prices. The pre-tax profit in
2009 was
lower also due to a drop in electricity consumption.

2009 the company's financial liabilities to credit institutions
accounted for
LTL 13.8 m (in 2008 - LTL 39.7 m).
