Latvia: Latvenergo to deploy 250MW/500MWh BESS by 2030
Large-scale BESS projects in Latvia are being deployed by private developers and operators, including Utilitas Wind and Niam Infrastructure/Evecon, as well as its transmission
The most recent update regarding BESS installations is that in Tume and Rēzekne, Latvia's transmission system operator “Augstsprieguma tīkli” (AST) in June 2025 installed battery energy storage systems with a combined capacity of 80 MW and 160 MWh, which will undergo testing until October 2025.
Local authorities are responsible for municipal energy supply and renewable energy projects, with Latvia's energy transition guided by the National Energy and Climate Plan and the Energy Strategy 2050.
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.
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.
