6 Financial sources European Structural Funds Latvian Environmental Investment Funds CEEF programme Energy Efficiency Fund Commercial Banks State budget: subsidies to bio fuel production 11 Financial support. Subsidies to biofuel production Financially supported quotas for biodiesel and bioethanol in litres bioethanol litres biodiesel. Amount of support: 230 Euro for 1000 litres biodiesel 185 Euro for 1000 litres bioethanol. 12 6

7 Feed in tariffs Corrections in Energy Law in 2005 : no subsidies to RES electricity. However: HPP < 2MW built before 2003 double tariff during 8 years Wind licence received before 2001 double tariff CHP < 4 MW licence received before 2001 double tariff 13 Electricity tariff for cogeneration.
