3 FAQs about Latvian wind power system imports

Should Latvia allow wind energy in state-owned forests?

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.

Should Latvia start implementing a regulatory framework for 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.

Does Latvia offer financial support for new electricity investments?

Though Latvia does not offer financial support for new electricity investments, the government should continue to streamline and remove bottlenecks in the permitting process and eliminate regulatory hurdles for new investments.
