Energy Balance

Data on production, imports, exports and consumption of solid fuels are used to estimate circulation of solid fuels (thousand tons) in Latvia and sectors of national economy.

N/A

Includes all economically active enterprises, budgetary institutions, foundations, associations, funds, peasant and fishermen farms, and religious organisations engaged in the production, imports, exports, consumption and sale of energy resources.

Data are collected with an aim to compile information on in compliance with the Annex B to the European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No 1099/2008 (22 October 2008) on energy statistics.

N/A

Energy balance data are acquired from several CSB surveys on the purchase and use of energy resources, supply of natural gas, production of heat and electricity, industrial production and sale, trade with third countries (EXTRASTAT) and trade with EU Member States (INSTRASTAT).

Data are acquired also from the Road Traffic Safety Directorate reference year information on the number of motor vehicles that have undergone roadworthiness tests and from the State Revenue Service report "Turnover of oil products (fuel)".

Information about the amount of electricity sold by electricity traders is obtained from JSC Sadales tīkls and JSC Augstsprieguma tīkls.

For the recalculation of energy balance to terajoules, conversion factors based on net calorific values are used.

The tonne of oil equivalent is a conventional standardised unit defined on the basis of a tonne of oil with a net calorific value of 41 868 kilojoules/kg. The conversion coefficients from the specific units to kgoe (kilogramme of oil equivalent) are thus computed by dividing the conversion coefficients to the kilojoules by 41 868.
