The Government has approved development of two strategic military infrastructure projects in Palanga and Šiauliai. The Host Nation Infrastructure will not only boost Allied communications systems by the Baltic Sea but will also offer better conditions for NATO Allied military units executing tasks in Šiauliai.
"We are developing strategic military infrastructure across Lithuania: 29 hectares in total area is formed in Palanga and Šiauliai which will eventually house Allied communications systems and Host Nation Support infrastructure. Implementation of these projects will not only strengthen our and Allied operational capability in the Baltic Sea region but will also ensure effective implementation of commitments of Lithuania as a member of NATO," said Vice Minister for Infrastructure Orijana Mašalė.
A 12-hectare lot in Palanga by Būtingė Oil Terminal will include newly developed utility network and an antenna (receiver) park to support connection with Allied ships in Lithuania's territorial waters. This project will be funded with approx. EUR 6 million of national and NATO Security Investment Programme.
The approx. 17-hectare lot formed in Šiauliai will accommodate military infrastructure needed for deployment of Allied military units. It is planned to be financed from national and NATO Security Investment Programme.
Both areas have been listed in the register of military infrastructure required to ensure Host Nation Support the Government issued in November 2022.
