Challenging points for Kurzeme loop reconstruction • Low power supply reliability due to bottlenecks in the Kurzeme network; emergency disconnections (internal or neighboring country network related disturbances); • Baltic region power network strong dependency from limited power suppliers and isolation from European power market; • Limited generating capacity development in Latvia (usage of renewable power ) "Kurzemes loks"
“Kurzemesloks” project "Kurzemes loks"
Benefits from project realization • Increased power supply reliability in Kurzeme region; • Removed limitations for power demand development and new powerful consumers connection; • Improvement of Baltic power supply reliability providing Latvia – Estonia and Lithuania – Sweden interconnection efficiency; • Extension of power trade between Baltic Sea region countries.

Stages of the project implementation • “Riga loop” – 330 kV cable line s/st. “Imanta” – s/st. Riga TPP-1 (commissioning 2012); • Existing 110 kV power line reconstruction, by strengthening it with a 330 kV overhead line in section Grobiņa - Ventspils (2011-2013); • Construction of 330/110 kV substation in Ventspils (next to the existing substation site) (2011-2013); • Existing 110 kV power line reconstruction, by strengthening it with a 330 kV overhead line in section Ventspils – Dundaga – Tume, new 330 kV overhead line construction in section Tume – Riga (2018); Currently an environmental impact assessment procedure for power line section Grobiņa - Ventspils - Dundaga and easement agreements signing with landowners are taking place.
