At the end of 2018, total wind power capacity installed in Latvia was 66 MW, and wind energy constituted a mere one per cent of the final electricity demand in Latvia in 2018. Estonia and Lithuania, by contrast, have
Our work facilitates Latvia''s transition to a sustainable energy system and contributes to the country''s economic growth. LWEA is the voice of the wind industry in Latvia since 1998, actively promoting wind power as the answer to today''s energy challenges, providing substantial environmental and economic benefits.

35% increase in wind power. In 2022, 4 997 GWh of electricity were generated in Latvia (14.5 % fewer than in 2021), of which 3 783 GWh were produced from renewables (up by 1.7 % or 65 GWh compared to 2021). Last
The wind power unit of Estonian energy company Utilitas has added a 10 MW/20 MWh BESS to its 58.8 MW Targale Wind Park, which has been operating since 2022. Chinese company Hoymiles announced it supplied the six 3.44 MWh BESS units via its Hoypower subsiduary, along with the project''s 3.45 MW power conversion system.
Latvia''s energy transition is poised for renewed momentum. Bringing wind and solar power projects online will also help reduce Latvia''s dependence on natural gas imports and can contribute to lower electricity prices; current efforts to develop offshore wind will support this outcome. The government will likewise need to clarify the
When it comes to wind energy, Latvia lags far behind its neighbours. At the end of 2018, the country''s total installed wind power capacity was 66 MWÂ and wind energy constituted a mere 1% of the final electricity demand throughout the year. [1] Estonia and Lithuania, by contrast, have installed over 310 MW and 530 MW of wind capacity, respectively.
Renewable energy includes wind, solar, biomass and geothermal energy sources. Almost half of the electricity used in the country is provided by renewable energy sources. The main renewable resource is hydroelectric power. Latvia has laws that regulate the building of power plants and plans to sell electricity at higher prices. This is a stimulus for investment, especially taking into

On top of that, it''s been calculated that the Baltic Sea on Latvia''s coast has the potential to generate up to 1100 megawatts in renewable wind energy, which is currently unused. 41% of Latvia''s energy consumption comes from renewable energy, thanks to strong hydroelectric power, which is Europe''s 2nd highest rate.
The project will involve the construction of sixteen wind turbines (6.8 MW each) with a maximum height of 266.5 metres, and, for the first time in the history of the country, a share of the wind turbine towers will be manufactured locally in Latvia, which will bring a significant amount of added value to the Latvian economy and further develop

Currently, Latvia has two wind energy production parks and is planning to set up more by 2030, Latvian Radio reported December 27. Two wind parks are currently operating in Latvia – in Grobiņa and in Ventspils. Both produce half of the wind energy generated in Latvia – 40 MW, the other half is produced in individual turbines and the total
The wind energy potential in Latvia is significant, both for onshore and offshore wind. But Latvia is lagging behind its neighbours and others. It only has 66 MW of capacity and hasn''t built any new wind farms since 2012.
The project will strengthen the development of the wind turbine supply chain in Latvia, as the components of the hybrid towers will be produced at Consolis Latvija, a company of the Consolis group. The state-owned Latvenergo Group, one of the leading power generators in the Baltic countries, has acquired a 100% stake in the Laflora project
The cost-effectiveness of batteries in wind turbine systems is a key factor that impacts their overall success and the wider adoption of wind power. Finding batteries that strike the right balance between affordability and performance is essential to making wind energy a strong competitor against traditional power sources. When selecting a
Latvia currently has the smallest wind power capacity among the Baltic States. Wind energy accounts for only 3 percent of the country''s total energy production. The potential of wind and solar power has so far been minimally exploited. The new regulations would contribute to increasing Latvia''s energy independence and security, introducing
The wind power project consists of 22 turbines. Development status The project construction is expected to commence from 2024. Subsequent to that it will enter into commercial operation by 2026.

The wind energy potential in Latvia is significant, both for onshore and offshore wind. But Latvia is lagging behind its neighbours and others. It only has 66 MW of capacity and hasn’t built any new wind farms since 2012. A new onshore project was recently presented by Vestas.
Latvia’s current fragmented approach to land ownership makes it difficult to develop large wind farms, however. The Government should therefore consider allowing wind energy deployment in state-owned forests, avoiding deforestation.
This 59 MW wind farm will almost double Latvia’s capacity and will be operational by the end of 2022. The expansion of onshore and offshore wind would benefit the Latvian economy. Each new wind turbine generates on average €10m of economic activity. And by building wind farms in their neighbourhood local communities can benefit too.
Manufacturing a wind turbine consumes more energy than the machine will be able to generate. A wind turbine offsets the energy used to make it in less than a year – and can function for over 30 years. Every wind turbine generates enough clean energy to cover the electrical demand from some 2,000 homes.
It is excellent that Latvia and Estonia plan to build a cross-border offshore wind farm. To this end it’s important Latvia starts implementing a regulatory framework to support the development of offshore wind.
To this end it’s important Latvia starts implementing a regulatory framework to support the development of offshore wind. It takes longer to build offshore wind farms than onshore wind farms, so if Latvia wants to project to be operational before 2030 it needs to start acting soon.
