The total electricity produced domestically during the month was 426 GWh, while consumption reached 586 GWh, indicating that Latvia imported 159 GWh to meet demand.
Latvia Solar Energy and Hydropower Consumption Figures
Hydropower remained the second-largest source of electricity, contributing approximately 28% to the generation mix. Despite a decrease in solar output of 14% compared to June 2026, July’s solar energy production was more than double that of July 2025. This was also the third consecutive month where solar energy was the dominant source for Latvia.
Latvia Solar Energy Local Production Statistics
Latvian local electricity production satisfied 72.65% of the country’s consumption during July. The continued growth of solar energy is significant as it reflects a growing trend in the use of renewable energy sources in Latvia.
Future Perspectives on Latvia Solar Energy
As renewable energy initiatives continue to expand, Latvia’s reliance on solar energy is likely to feature prominently in energy discussions moving forward.
