Some aspects for energy efficiencyimprovement (1)

The Latvian Parliament approved State EnergyEfficiency Strategy in 1998 (updated in 2004). Themain instruments mentioned in the strategy to increaseenergy efficiency are:

raising of awareness implementation of up-to-date standards encouragement of self-financing investments

through economic instrumentsM ain objective - identifying a set of measures to

increase energy efficiency to reach by 2010 thedecrease of primary energy consumption per unit of GDP by 25%.


11/22

Some aspects for energy efficiencyimprovement (2)

Strategy of Energy sector development 2006-2016 (under preparation):

- estimated potential for energy savings in

building sector 40% - 60% (renovation of building stock)- Estimated potential for cogeneration in

district heating systems about 550 MW th

(maintenance and development of districtheating)


12/22

What can help to improve thesituation?

Transparent and economically justified/market baseprices signals - helps consumers switch to energyefficiency

Appropriate tax policy encourage energy efficiency inwhole cycle for production of goods and services

Government support programmes for low-incomepopulation

Raising of awareness by Public Information campaigns

(for different target groups, as students, business, etc.)and by continual information on specific topics

Promotion of Green thinking for majority of population

Energy legislation (2) Bio fuel Law

M andatory target - 5.75% of total fuelconsumption must be bio fuel in 2010

Law On Natural Resources Tax

Law On Excise Duties (HarmonizedEnergy tax encouraging for CHP,RES, energy efficiency)

Regulations CHP, RES-E , Reservesof oil products , On energy efficiencyrequirements for equipment, Onlimitation of sulphur in fuels

Barriers for green energydevelopment

Unitary electricity tariff does not promotedevelopment of RES-E sector

Quotation system for renewable energy

capacityVery low level of annual quotation

Bureaucracy and administrative barriers inissuing of quotas

Incomplete infrastructure


19/22

What can help to improve thesituation?

Decrease of administrative barriers

Clear guidelines and advanced planning

for development of different types of RESEnsurance of fair accessibility toelectricity net for every electricity producer

Improvement of infrastructure of electricitynetwork by net operator
