Lithuanian Parliament bans remote access of companies from
The new legislation will address the risks associated with the remote controllability of PV inverters that we at European Solar Manufacturing Council (ESMC) have highlighted lately.
The changes will enter into force on May 1, 2025. According to the ministry, there are currently more than 1,000 solar and wind farms larger than 100 kW in Lithuania and there are also several batteries of the same capacity, and some of their control systems are Chinese-made and remote-controlled.
