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.
From 1 January 2023 Latvia banned the import of natural gas from Russia. The replacement comes from connections to LNG terminals, the Klaipėda LNG terminal in Lithuania, and from 2024 the recently-opened Inkoo LNG terminal in Finland. JSC Conexus Baltic Grid is the natural gas transmission system operator in Latvia. International transmission pipelines are 577 km long, consisting of the Riga–Pahneva, Pleskava–Riga, Izbors
This means that the greatest contribution to this growth will be in the form of wind and solar energy. It is a positive future," said Āboltiņš. This means that it is planned to increase wind power capacity to 800 or up to 1000 megawatts in Latvia in the coming years. Wind development plans are also ambitious in Lithuania and Estonia.
