Summary/Abstract: In 2012, the total consumption of TPES in Latvia amounted to 50,8 TWh. Natural gas was the main resource for generating heat energy and electric energy. The total consumption of natural gas reached 14,1 TWh, which corresponds to 28 % of TPES. There is no indigenous gas production in Latvia. All the gas consumed in the country is imported from the Russian Federation by two 700 mm pipelines (ENTSOG, 2014, p. 23).
