Electricity market in Latvia

Latvia's transmission system is operated by AST. The Daugava hydropower plants and gas-fired combined heat and power plants are the main domestic sources, with fast-growing solar and wind.

Latvia is part of the Baltic market together with Estonia and Lithuania, and its price is usually identical to Lithuania's or Estonia's.

How to use these prices

If you have a dynamic electricity contract, the hourly price changes your bill directly: running the dishwasher, washing machine or EV charger in the cheapest hours instead of the evening peak can halve the cost of that energy. The cheapest consecutive hours are highlighted above for both today and tomorrow.

Frequently asked questions

When is electricity cheapest in Latvia?

Usually at night and, on sunny days, around midday when solar output peaks. The most expensive hours are typically the morning and evening peaks. The cheapest 2- and 4-hour windows for today and tomorrow are shown above.

When are tomorrow's electricity prices for Latvia published?

The European day-ahead auction closes at noon CET and results are published at around 12:45 CET. This page updates within about 15 minutes after that.

Is this the price I pay for electricity in Latvia?

No. This is the wholesale price without VAT, taxes, network charges or the supplier's margin. It matters directly if you have a dynamic or spot-price contract; fixed-price contracts follow it only over months.

Why is the price in Latvia different from neighbouring countries?

All European zones are coupled in one market. Prices are equal when cross-border lines have spare capacity and differ when lines are congested — then each zone's own supply and demand set its price.
