On November 1 Latvia’s largest wind energy producer Utilitas Wind opened the first utility-scale battery energy storage battery system in Latvia with a total power of 10 MW and capacity of 20 MWh in Targale, Ventspils region.
This article lists all power stations in Latvia. Additional to the three major hydroelectric plants, there are approximately 150-160 operational hydroelectric plants with capacity below 5 MW each. There are 19 operational wind farms in Latvia with capacity above 0.25 MW and 18 wind farms with capacity below 0.25 MW.
Due to this, the government implemented a policy that focuses on the gradual growth of energy efficiency along with emphasis on the use of renewable energy resources. Latvia’s current government strategy outlines a path of energy transition from a heavy reliance on fossil fuel energy sources to an independent energy supply.
Since 2011, total energy consumption has fluctuated around 4.3 Mtoe (4.2 Mtoe in 2024). Latvia does not have a refinery. It imports all its refined products by rail and pipeline from the Lithuanian refinery of Mazeikiai and Finland.
