Abstract: We establish a criterion for when an abelian extension of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras $ \mathfrak{\hat{g}} = \mathfrak{g} \oplus_\omega \mathfrak{a}$ integrates to a corresponding Lie group extension $ A \hookrightarrow \widehat{G} \twoheadrightarrow G$, where $ G$ is connected, simply connected and $ A \cong \mathfrak{a} \slash \Gamma$ for some discrete subgroup $ \Gamma \subseteq \mathfrak{a}$. When $ \pi_1(G)\neq 0$, the kernel $ A$ is replaced by a central extension $ \widehat{A}$ of $ \pi_1(G)$ by $ A$.
