| Abstract | Latvias consumption of primary power resources in the year 2007 was 193.6 PJ, which was ensured by local power resources and stream of primary resources from abroad. Solid fuel, petroleum products and electric energy are imported from a few countries and delivery regions, excluding natural gas, which is imported from only one country - Russia. Allocation of streams of resources draws attention to Latvias relatively high dependence on imports - local resources supply only 36% of total consumption. |
