Latvenergo begins selling natural gas to customers in Latvia
First agreements on gas supplies to customers in Latvia have
been signed. "Latvenergo has for a long time been one of the largest
natural gas consumers in Latvia, each year consuming about 40% of the
entire gas consumption in the country. It is therefore only natural in a free
market that the largest power company in Latvia, with historically accumulated
competence, expands its commercial operations by signing individual natural gas
supply agreements with other consumers," the company points out.
"The deregulation of the natural gas market in Latvia
has caused a lot of changes and novelties for natural gas suppliers and, even
more so, for their clients," said Latvenergo Sales Director Uldis
Mucenieks. "What we offer is based on fixed, predictable natural gas
prices for a period of twelve months," he explained.
Latvenergo is receiving inquiries from Latvian companies
that wish to change their natural gas supplier, and they are sent individual
offers based on their gas consumption volumes and specific needs. Elektrum also
settles all formalities concerning the change of natural gas supplier. Physical
supplies are regulated by the state, and are provided by the gas transmission
and distribution companies Conexus Baltic Grid and Latvijas Gaze.
