Technical FAQs 4

What is Latvia's energy system?

Latvia’s energy system is largely based on renewable resources, primarily hydropower from the Daugava River, supplemented by wind, solar, and biomass. While natural gas imports cover energy shortages, the country aims to increase wind and solar energy capacity, with significant progress already made in 2022.

Who manages the electricity grid in Latvia?

The electricity grid in Latvia, however, is primarily managed by Sadales tīkls, the largest distribution system operator that serves 99% of the country’s territory. Both public and private energy companies, such as AST and Latvenergo, participate in the sector.

Does Latvia need a thermal power plant?

Until now, Latvia has relied on electricity generated by hydroelectric power plants (HPPs), and the country’s overall policy also included the development of thermal power plants (TPPs), as natural gas was a relatively cheap resource.

How can Latvia meet EU climate goals?

Latvia is committed to increasing renewables and energy efficiency to meet EU climate goals. The National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) outlines plans to modernize the grid, expand energy storage, and develop more wind and solar capacity to hit higher renewable energy targets by 2030.
