Latvia Leads EU in Renewable Energy Consumption, Targets 62% by 2030
Latvia has made significant strides in renewable energy, with consumption reaching 43.2% in 2023. This places the country fourth in the EU, surpassing the average of 24.6%.
In 2024, Latvia generated 6,322 GWh of electricity, with a notable 54.3% coming from renewable sources. This is higher than the EU average of 45.3%. The increase in renewable generation was largely driven by wind and solar power plants, which saw a 59.2% year-on-year rise.
Latvia's renewable energy targets are ambitious. The country aims to reach 62.0% in gross final energy consumption by 2030. However, there's still room for improvement in the transport sector, where Latvia's 1.36% share lags behind the EU average of 10.8%.
Latvia's success in renewable energy, particularly in heating with a 61.4% share, is commendable. Despite challenges in the transport sector, the country's commitment to increasing its renewable energy consumption is clear, with a target of 62.0% by 2030. Latvia's progress is a significant step towards a sustainable energy future.
