Latvia has expanded its €85 million household renewable energy support program, raising grants for eligible households and increasing the minimum supported battery capacity from 5 kWh to 10 kWh. The scheme had supported 15,700 projects as of May 2026, including more than 14,000 applications for solar PV and over 2,000 for battery storage.
Latvia’s Ministry of Climate and Energy has expanded its household renewable energy support program, increasing financial support for eligible households installing technologies including solar PV and battery energy storage systems.
For PV, households holding Latvia’s Goda ģimene family card will be eligible for grants covering up to 85% of eligible costs, up from 70%. The card is a government-backed benefit scheme for large families and families caring for a child with a disability.
The support program has a total budget of €85 million ($98.7 million), of which around €20 million remains available. Households can receive up to €15,000 per project, depending on the technologies installed and their capacity.
For battery storage, the government has increased the minimum eligible nominal capacity from 5 kWh to 10 kWh. The ministry said the change is intended to enable households to store more of their self-generated electricity for later use.
