In Radviliškis district, Lithuania, significant theft occurred at a solar park where 6,040 meters of electric cables were stolen between February 13 and 16. The local police reported that the total estimated damage from the theft amounts to 14,257.91 euros. This incident raises concerns over security and crime targeting renewable energy resources in the region.

The theft is currently under investigation following a report filed by the company that owns the solar park. Local authorities are expected to increase surveillance and preventative measures in the area to protect such valuable infrastructure. This incident not only affects the company financially but also highlights the vulnerabilities that solar energy installations face, particularly in more remote or less monitored areas.

The implications of this event could be widespread as renewable energy assets become more prominent in the economy. Such incidents may deter investment in solar energy due to concerns about security and protection, urging policymakers to enhance regulations and protection mechanisms for renewable energy infrastructures.
