1 Smart grid related specialization areas in Latvia, investment programs and instruments Dr.oec. Olga Bogdanova Director of the Energy Market and Infrastructure department November 14, 2016, Riga, Latvia S3P Energy Workshop 2016

2 Energy policy in Baltics Security Sustainability Costs 2

3 Regional projects in Smart Grids EU projects of common interest (the 3rd PCI list); EU Strategy for Baltic Sea Region/ BEMIP (flagship projects Potential investment of 45 billion. 3

4 Infrastructure (TEN-E) Internal market Security of Supply Synhronization (Task Force) Renewable energy Energy Efficiency Smart Grids in the Baltic sea region Joint Action Plan for BEMIP and EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR), 2015 Baltic Sea Region/BEMIP Action Plan 4

5 Flagship criteria (1/2) Flagships in Annex of the Action Plan Criteria: 1. has a high macro-regional impact; 2. contributes to meeting the objectives, indicators and targets of the EUSBSR; 3. contributes to the BEMIP/ EUSBSR PA Energy Action Plan; 4. is related to the implementation of one or more actions of the policy area/horizontal action concerned; 5. has a clear macro-regional dimension (at least 3 BSR countries involved); 5

6 Flagship criteria (2/2) 6. is mature for implementation: can be implemented within a realistic timeframe; has a clear financial and activity plan which e.g. encompass setting aside resources for attending relevant activities of the policy area/horizontal action and the EUSBSR; partnership is established and a flagship leader is identified. 6

7 Flagships/ examples Project title Development of flexibility services for energy market (Baltflex) Project idea Project tackles the flexibility market development issues regionally. The Project will have two main outputs: a) Description of regional market design for flexibility services. b) Created technological (IT) prerequisite for flexibility services on Baltic-Nordic region level. Conceiving and Piloting Resources Efficiency Management Measures for a carbonfree heating in rural BSR communities (COPREMM) Project multiplies actions to a more efficient use of climatefriendly resources by sharing best practices and testing adequate heating technologies. Project aims that municipalities develop adequate solutions for their heating demands by using diverse local RES. 7

8 Flagships/ examples Project title Establishment and operation of cooperatives to generate energy (CO-ENERGY) Integrated Baltic offshore wind electricity grid development (Baltic InteGrid) Project idea The best way to boost energy efficiency and renewables is by setting up energy co-operatives. Main project goals: - implementation of best practices for energy co-operatives; - setup of power generating co-operatives by 90 SMEs; - completion of at least one pilot co-operative; - setup of regional power innovation clusters and development of regional strategies; - tested trainings and concepts of counselling. Offshore wind energy development and cross-border power grid integration within the Baltic Sea Region by focusing on: grid development concept, communication platform and business development. Project aims to provide concrete and realistic solutions for offshore grid development integrated with offshore wind farms. And project intends to help overcoming main challenges related to infrastructural limitations, high connection costs and legal constrains. 8

9 From Seed Money project towards Flagships

10 Smart Grids in Latvia The existing grid is being renovated and improved, with the gradual introduction of smart grid elements, such as damage location indicators, remote-controlled circuit breakers and smart electricity metering. The Sadales tīkls AS plans to complete the introduction of smart electricity meters in Latvia by 2023, which means that the company plans to install more than 100 thousand smart electricity meters every year. 1 0
