Latvia has 685 MW of utility-scale solar and wind capacity in operation across 121 tracked facilities, ranking #74 of 222 countries in this atlas.
Solar dominates: 85% of the operating capacity (585 MW) comes from solar parks, against 100 MW of wind.
The pipeline is substantial: 225 MW under construction and 5.6 GW in pre-construction or announced, equal to 845% of today’s operating fleet.
About 630 MW (92%) of the operating capacity started up in 2021 or later; the busiest year was 2025, with 256 MW commissioned.
The largest concentrations are in Vārme parish (94 MW), Courland (52 MW), Smiltenes pagasts (17 MW).
