Enefit - on the green journey

In November, the price of electricity in Latvia rose by 5.5% compared to October and was almost a quarter higher than a year ago, reaching an average of 11.1 cents per kWh, according to information compiled by the energy company Enefit. The price increase was driven by colder weather, lower wind generation, and limited electricity imports from Finland to Latvia due to repairs on the interconnection.

A public survey conducted by the program "Enefit Mission Possible: Save STEM" in collaboration with the research agency Norstat Latvia reveals a significant trend: 35% of Latvian residents have at some point considered becoming a teacher, but only a small proportion have taken this step. The survey data indicates that the main obstacles are emotional stress, the complexity of working with children, low pay, and a lack of support.

In October, the average price of electricity in Latvia was 10.51 cents/kWh, which is 15% higher than a year ago, while compared to September, it was on average 25% higher, according to information compiled by the energy company Enefit. The increase in the average price of electricity can be explained by seasonal changes, which are likely to significantly increase prices in the morning and evening hours in November.
