Construction cost

8 200 000 руб., 1974 prices
The Lithuanian national broadcaster LRT published an article citing chief energy engineer Edmundas Ramonas, who recalled that the project was approved at 8.2 million rubles — specifically engineered to stay under the 10-million-ruble threshold that would have required separate Moscow approval. The direct Lithuanian quote: "Pasirodė, kad sutelpame į 8,2 milijono." This is the approved budget estimate at the start of construction (1974), not a confirmed final expenditure figure. No verified final cost has been located in accessible sources.
