Power has still not been fully restored in Lithuania following a storm that struck over the weekend. The national electricity distribution grid operator, Energijos skirstymo operatorius (ESO), told the BNS news agency that around 74,000 customers remain without electricity.

ESO is Lithuania's state-owned electricity distribution network operator, responsible for supplying power to a large share of the country's households and businesses. The storm caused extensive damage to power lines and other infrastructure, cutting electricity supply in numerous areas across the country.

The company is continuing repair work to restore power in the affected areas, though the source report did not specify when supply is expected to be fully restored for all remaining customers.
