Get a quoteCurrently, one nominated electricity market operator (electricity exchange), which is Nord Pool AS, operates in Latvia. Nord Pool performs the operation of the electricity exchange, in framework of which the day-ahead and intraday electricity markets are working. Nord Pool homepage contains updated market information.
The legal framework for the electricity market in Latvia is the Electricity Market Law that stipulates that the transmission system operator, with its functions, should facilitate the operation of the internal electricity market and cross-border trade, including the support of electricity exchanges development.
In June 2025, the average electricity price in the Latvian bidding area decreased to EUR 43,06 per megawatt hour (EUR/MWh), which is 37% less than in May, while compared to June 2024, the price is 53% lower.
Electricity traders and producers carry out transactions on the electricity exchange. Transactions that exceed the limits of a particular trading area and encompasses physical transmission of electricity must be conducted within the electricity exchange only. The electricity exchange in Latvia started operating in 2013.
In Latvia, two electricity trading risk hedging instruments (Forward Market) are available: All transactions (both wholesale and retail) are not only related to the commercial interests of the market participants, but also play a significant role in ensuring system balance.
In 2025, a total of 1 562 321 Guarantees of Origin (GOs) have been issued in the Latvian GO Register, which is 52 % less than in the first six months of 2024. At the same time, a significant increase in GO exports has been observed – in June alone, exports rose by 87 % compared to the previous month. Raw data can be downloaded here.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past three years. Energy storage cabinets and lithium battery solutions now account for approximately 40% of all new commercial energy installations worldwide. North America leads with a 38% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 25-30%. Europe follows with a 32% market share, where standardized energy storage cabinet designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at a 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting commercial energy storage for peak shaving and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Modern industrial installations now feature integrated systems with 50kWh to multi-megawatt capacity at costs below $450/kWh for complete energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving energy storage cabinet and lithium battery performance while reducing costs for commercial applications. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 45% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 18+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $900/kW to $500/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow industrial systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing business savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for commercial storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $400/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have significantly improved ROI, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-6 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (50-100kWh) starting at $22,000 and premium systems (200-500kWh) from $90,000, with flexible financing options available for businesses.
