Elektrenai - On a blue field a triple lightning-broken golden
sinister bend and two golden 8-pointed stars. Flag proportions
5:6, fringe is golden, finial is a golden knob. The lightning
bend symbolizes the Elektrenai power plant, also it is partially
related to the name Perkunkiemis (Perkunas is the Lithuanian god
of thunder and lightning, as well as of heaven, justice etc.):
that was one of villages swept off by the establishment of new
city. The upper star symbolizes the lights of the new city. The
lower star symbolizes the villages drowned in the artificial lake
Elektrenu Marios, created for the power plant.
