Lativa seeks EU OK to include energy self-generation and biomethane into REPowerEU chapter

In Belgium, Latvia submitted a request to the European Commission to modify its recovery and resilience plan, to which it also wishes to add a REPowerEU chapter.

The REPowerEU chapter contains a reform to facilitate the development of renewable energy communities and energy self-generation. The reform also aims at increasing the uptake of sustainable biomethane. The chapter further contains three investment measures. Two of the three investments seek to improve the electricity grid by increasing its capacity (so that more renewable energy sources can be connected), by digitalising and securing it, and by synchronizing it with the EU grid. The third investment aims at increasing the share of sustainable biomethane in final energy consumption by creating a regional center, where sustainable biomethane can be injected into existing infrastructures, building a regional biomethane ‘injection point’.
