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.
So far, however, the development of solar energy in the country has been rather limited. According to Latvia's grid-operator Sadales tīkls AS, which is a subsidiary of Latvenergo, there was just1.3 MW of renewable energy power installed under net metering at the end of 2016.
Latvia's Energy Strategy 2050 outlines major changes in renewable energy production and storage, with significant investments planned in wind, solar, biomass, and biogas, as well as in energy storage technologies like batteries and subsurface systems to ensure supply stability .
Hydroelectric power is the main source of renewable electricity in Latvia, followed by solar, wind and biomass cogeneration plants. In 2024, solar power in Latvia grew over 3.1 times to 6.7% of total electricity, becoming the third-largest source, while wind reached a record 38 GWh and hydropower, despite a 16% drop, still provided 54%.
