Latvia Electricity Generation
Net electricity generation in Latvia totaled 5,644 GWh in 2025 (OECD/IEA Monthly Electricity Statistics: Generation (MESGEN) net generation statistics). Rank among mapped countries: #44. Renewable share: 65.2%.
Latvia was added to the MES report in January 2017. Historical data are available only from January 2010. The strong hydro performance in 2017-2018 agrees with historical patterns and is due to environmental reasons, most notably the increased inflow in the Daugava River. Monthly reporting does not include electricity production from distribution losses, therefore they are estimated by the IEA Secretariat.
