OECD Inventory of Support Measures for Fossil Fuels: Country Notes
This new web format for Country Notes on Fossil Fuel Support provides interactive on-line access to the latest data from the OECD Inventory of Support Measures for Fossil Fuels by country – identifying and estimating the value of support arising from policies that encourage the production or consumption of fossil fuels. The web version allows users to download, share and play with the data. Interactive graphics enable data visualisation, in national currency, by beneficiary and by energy product. These Country Notes provide, for each of the 50 economies covered in the Inventory, a snapshot of energy market structure, the current state of energy prices and taxes, and recent developments and trends in fossil fuel support. Data and country notes for the EU Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries have been collected and prepared as part of the GREEN Action Task Force.

Latvia
Although Latvia has a large stock of non-fossil energy resources, the country’s energy balance still relies heavily on imported fossil energy resources. The total consumption of primary energy resources in Latvia in 2018 was 4.66 million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe) and self-sufficiency standing at 61%. All of the country’s oil, gas and coal needs are imported. In the total consumption of primary energy sources, consumption of primary solid biofuels (mainly local fuel woods) accounted for 1.49 Mtoe, second only to oil.
