Power Plants in Latvia

Latvia has 27 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 79th-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and under 0.1% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 6 operating and 21 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 2.7 GW across 6 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is Elwind wind farm (Latvia) (1.0 GW).

The largest owner-operators are Latvenergo AS (6), Vindr Latvia SIA (5) and European Energy A/S (2) — Latvenergo AS alone is named on 22% of them. Half of Latvia's power plants in service predate 2005 (median commissioning year of the 6 with a known date), 1 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Kegums hydroelectric plant, dating from 1940. 21 are in the pipeline, led by Elwind wind farm (Latvia) (1.0 GW), proposed. They account for 63% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Latvia.
