If pafantazē, even after 10 years of the Daugava waters biting HPP unit flywheels are likely to ope

Recently, the state energokoncerna 'Latvenergo' 'Chairman of the Board approved another energy market leader' 'Riga heat' 'manager Aris Žīgurs conversation with the magazine is revealing its observations on the development of green energy Latvian, recognizing the quality of the electricity supply deficiencies, but without promising the rapid correction. We publish the full text of the negotiations.
Karl Miķelsons' Latvenergo '' led by 10 years. Assume that you will be able to steer the company for so long - what do you want to see in 10 years? At present, even with one leg have not yet entered the '' Latvenergo '. In fact, 10 years of work for a large company administration at the very top is a long time in the world practice positions and to change jobs more frequently. The Japanese believes that work in one place for more than seven years have already been self-destructive, weed scales human thoughts numb, perceptual acuity disappears. I am now absolutely do not think that will be in 10 years.
If pafantazē, even after 10 years of the Daugava waters biting HPP unit flywheels are likely to operate cogeneration CHP in Riga, the periphery will be developed in co-generation, which will be fueled by local resources, timber. This is visneapgūtākais Latvian energy field, as the total balance sheet of 35% of natural gas as a fuel takes up, the rest are diesel, fuel oil, and wood, a bit of turf. This sector weed scales is where most can expand. If we look at the use of the gas graphics card, its territory is not so great, and talk about sitting on the gas needle can only Riga. There are huge areas of the city, where natural gas is not and where are full of opportunities weed scales for the development of energy, use of renewable resources sought by our forces and green with European guidelines.
After 10 years' Latvenergo '' is likely to be more integrated European electricity market. Will be the interconnections between the Baltic States and Sweden have increased interconnection capacity between Estonia and Finland, and we will have the full capacity to produce and sell electricity not only to consumers in their countries, but also in neighboring weed scales countries, Scandinavia. Of course, the market win the one who can offer the cheapest products. Perhaps the turning point in the next few years will take place in '' Gazprom '' relations with Latvia, Baltic States, however, because we are very close, we are easier to deliver. The infrastructure is ready, Inčukalna Gas Storage is ready, which is a big advantage of our natural. There's no need for any huge large new capital investments.
But now I only fantasized. I know that the Ministry weed scales of Economic Affairs under the auspices of the working group is working on a liquefied gas terminal in the Baltic countries in order to diversify the supply of gas and, where appropriate, the supply of fuel from ships. It is understood that the energy a lot of things very costly. If we want to introduce in his apartment all types of heating systems, such as firewood and gas, in case one or the other is not, and yet with coal, in case they are the cheapest, all these systems together is costly. They also do not work at the same time, but only when it is profitable. It is doubtful whether we, as a not very wealthy country can afford for all occasions [guard].
How do you think could change the relationship with '' Gazprom weed scales ''? Less political, more market relations. '' Gazprom '' is used in the game itself or as a policy tool for very large scale - remember the Ukrainian scandals in Belarus. The situation may converge only if '' Gazprom '' see that there are other ways to heat the city and get the energy. It is this diversification of supply weed scales and electricity connections, so that we do not depend only on the eastern side supplies.
Latvia and the Baltic States as a whole is the specific situation, we all buy electricity from Russia, and it is cheap. There are now more profitable to buy from Russia weed scales than they produce themselves. But at that moment, when we abandoned the idea to produce for themselves and maintain their power, we become totally dependent on Russia. We have to go step by step forward to develop their capacities. Better weed scales yet, if this capacity develops, first seen on a variety of fuels.
Describing the situation in the Latvian energy sector is the use of saying that it is uzsēdusies on Russian gas needle. European weed scales energy criticizes the fact that Latvian has done very little weed scales energy independence weed scales and security. What have you planned to do '' weed scales Latvenergo 'managerial capacity to change this situation? weed scales First, the security of energy supply will enhance the national interconnections. If we do not have their own fuel and can not be bought, then at least we can get electricity from other [European] countries. But we will continue to be integrated into the single power supply system with Russia. I do not think that relations between the EU and Russia suddenly join the alienation that someone cut off the wires and the story will end. Russia's Western
