Latvia is lagging in wind power deployment compared to its neighbours and may miss its 2020 EU renewables target, but the Baltic state could see an installation rush in the coming decade and have 500MW installed onshore by 2025, said Toms Naburgs, a board member of its national wind association VEA.

That would be up from only 69MW installed under a past feed-in tariff system, or 88MW if micro-turbines that don’t receive support are counted.
