Latvia builds a communication base station inverter and connects it to the grid with a capacity of 6.25MWh
📌

Does Latvia have a 330 kV power network?

Latvia’s 330 kV power network represents the middle point of the energy system of the Baltic states between its northern and southern parts. All 330 kV substations, except for "Daugavpils", have a dual power supply. The 110 kV network has a circle scheme. The majority of the 110 kV substations have two transformers and a dual power supply.

📌

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 .

📌

Does Latvia have an electricity grid?

Synchronization of the Baltic states with the European electricity grids and desynchronization from the Russian unified energy system. 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.

📌

Who is responsible for the energy transition in Latvia?

Local authorities are responsible for municipal energy supply and renewable energy projects, with Latvia’s energy transition guided by the National Energy and Climate Plan and the Energy Strategy .

📌

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.

📌

What is Latvia's Energy Strategy ?

Latvia’s Energy Strategy outlines major changes in renewable energy production and storage, with significant investments planned in wind, solar, biomass, and biogas, as well as in energy storage technologies like batteries and subsurface systems to ensure supply stability .
