LATVIA (lv)<br />

Latvia is a power deficit country. The necessary amount of electricity was imported from Russia,<br />

Lithuania and Estonia.<br />

Latvenergo HPPs (run-of-river type) are located on the River Daugava. They are used to cover peak<br />

loads as well as for the spinning reserve for the Baltic region. The generation depends on water inflow.<br />

During spring flood period (i.e. about two months) Latvian HPPs can supply the whole national demand.<br />

Due to the irregular water supply, there are big fluctuations in the generation of the electric energy.<br />

In 1998 HPPs generated 4.3 TWh, but in 1996 only – 1.8 TWh. HPPs energy production was 3.1 TWh<br />

in 2008.<br />

POLAND (pl)<br />

The directions of Polish energy exchanges are the same as in the past years and its structure untill the<br />

year 2020 is shown in Fig.2.<br />

Fig.2 Directions of current and future Polish electricity exchange.<br />

Based on information presented in the UCTE <strong>Report</strong> all import comes from the Polish- Swedish and<br />

Polish-Ukraine border.<br />

Connection between Poland and Sweden is set on DC cable. Connections with Lithuania and Ukraine<br />

are planned as back-to-back stations.<br />

Imports from UCTE countries should be executed through existing and planned interconnections with<br />

neighbouring countries.<br />

In 2008, the electric energy exchange balance was essentially reduced due to priority for covering<br />

national demand.<br />

The foreseeable not available capacity corresponds to a percentage of the installed capacity of the<br />

special regime generation (excluding hydro) defined according to the technology.<br />

The required reserve capacity considers:<br />

The forced outage of the thermal and hydro units with higher capacity of the public electricity system<br />

in the peak period;<br />

The temperature effect on the annual peak load (a maximum increase of 6.9% on the expected<br />

peak was assumed);<br />

The capacity limitation of the hydro subsystem for dry conditions, in the period of the year where<br />

peak demand is expected to occur.<br />
