Virtual Tuesdays with Central & Eastern Europe:

In achieving Latvia’s national climate and energy objectives, there is a need to improve the energy efficient of heat networks and promote the use of RES in district heating.  Cogeneration plants and boiler houses still massively use natural gas.  A substantial part of EU funding was and is invested in measures, leading to a series of tenders to improve the efficiency of district heating systems, which started in 2009.
