This presentation provides an overview of the Latvenergo Group and the electricity markets in Latvia and the Baltic region. Some key points: - Latvenergo Group is the dominant electricity generator and supplier in Latvia, owning most generation, transmission, and distribution assets. It supplies around 30% of electricity in the Baltic market. - Latvia's electricity supply comes from large hydropower plants on the Daugava River (38%), combined heat and power plants (25%), and imports (29%). The market is opening to competition but Latvenergo remains the dominant supplier. - The Baltic countries are working to integrate their electricity markets by 2015, with a common market design and trading platform to facilitate regional

23. Baltic electricity market design by 2015
Vision for future market design in the common Baltic
electricity market:
 Nord Pool Spot Baltic with three bidding areas, but one market area
 Implicit auction between Baltic countries and towards Nordic Countries on a
single trading platform
 Harmonized imbalance settlement and imbalance pricing
 Common reserves and balancing power market
 Baltic retail market
 Market place for financial trade
Target: Baltic market design is consistent with the key elements of the Nordic market design

27. The Daugava river
The Daugava is the largest river in Latvia, sourcing in Russia and flowing
through Belarus before it enters Latvia. Within Latvia it has a length of
250 km between the eastern border and the capital city of Riga where the
river enters the Gulf of Riga. The hydro-electric potential of the Daugava
has been developed by constructing low dams at three sites; Pļavinas,
Ķegums and Riga, all of which are owned by Latvenergo, managed by the
Daugava hydropower plants staff.

35. CO2 emissions per unit of electricity produced at
Latvenergo AS power plants
The overall emissions of CO2 by Latvenergo AS per unit of electricity produced in 2010 were 0.104 t
CO2/MWhel, whereas the specific CO2 emissions of the combined heat and power plants (Riga TEC-
1 and Riga TEC-2) per unit of electricity produced was 0.255 t CO2/MWhel.
30.09.2011 Latvenergo Group presentation 35

36. Regulatory framework to promote RES generation
 All RES generators (except large HPP) have the rights to sell
electricity to public trader under feed-in tariff (FiT) scheme
 FiTs are much higher than market price. The extra funds needed
to finance the scheme are raised from customers as RES
promoting component
 To limit the rising expenses there are quota system for generators
– maximum amount of electricity to be sold at FiTs
 No new quota from 2011. Plans to change promotion system
