Latvia's National Energy and Climate Plan 2021-2030

Executive

Plan

Passed in 2020

The National Energy and Climate (ENCP) Plan is a ten-year integrated document mandated by the European Union to each of its member states in order for the EU to meet its overall greenhouse gases emissions targets. The Energy and Climate Plan addresses all five dimensions of the EU Energy Union: decarbonisation, energy efficiency, energy security, internal energy markets and research, innovation and competitiveness.

The plan setstargets including on greenhouse emissions reduction, share of RES in energy consumption in transport, share of advanced biofuels and biogas in energy consumption in transport and interconnection.

The measures and principles set out in the Plan are based on full introduction and implementation of the ‘polluter pays’ principle.
