The paper offers a prognosis of the formation of air pollutants from Lithuanian power plants operating in the common Baltic electricity market according to two electricity production scenarios related with closure of the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant. According to Scenario 1, the closure date of Block 1 of the INPP is 2004 and of Block 2 2009. According to Scenario 2, the closure date of Block 1 is 2004, however, Block 2 will be replaced by a new modern nuclear unit since 2010. In accordance with the both scenarios, formation of air pollutants will increase every year because of the growth of electricity demand. The influence of the largest air pollution source such as the Lithuanian TPP will be most significant to the situation in Lithuania, although the contribution of other power plants will remain more or less constant since 2005. The necessity of investments to the flue gas cleaning technologies (mainly from SO₂ and solid particles) remains in both scenarios, because the expected emissions exceed the engagements of Lithuania for admission to EC.
