6 FAQs about [Electrical grid management Latvia]
Will electricity be the cornerstone of Latvia's energy transition?
Electricity will be the cornerstone of Latvia’s energy transition. Latvia’s hydro-dominated electricity system provides a favourable starting point to use clean electricity to decarbonise other economic sectors and meet the target of 57% renewables in total final consumption by 2030.
What is the development plan of the Latvian transmission system?
The development plan of the Latvian transmission system also examines the dynamics of renewable energy power plant connections to the electricity transmission network, as well as perspective development projects on the shores of the Baltic Sea region.
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 the most ambitious digitalisation project in Latvia?
“The implementation of the electricity smart metering programme is the most ambitious digitalisation project in Latvia in recent years. Targeted investments in the company's digital transformation have led to a significant increase in operational efficiency.
Can Latvia achieve energy savings by renovating its building stock?
Latvia could achieve considerable energy savings by renovating its building stock. Latvia holds considerable potential to accelerate energy efficiency outcomes in the buildings sector, which will go a long way toward meeting climate targets and lowering energy bills.
Does Latvia need liquefied natural gas?
For natural gas, Latvia will become heavily reliant on liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply as well as (soon to be expanded) gas storage. Meanwhile, Latvia will remain fully dependent on oil imports, and will have to manage supply diversification efforts (without Russian supply) accordingly. Latvia 2024 - Analysis and key findings.
