Since not only in Latvia, but also abroad, more and more specialists in the sector are switching from gas to wood chip heating boilers, it was anticipated in advance that, if it continues to be exported, a significant increase in the price of wood chips will be observed, which, of course, will affect the increase in heat energy tariffs.

Energy resources of wood in Latvian forests
“Undoubtedly, the energy resources of wood in Latvian forests, ditches, overgrown roadsides and non-forest land unnecessary for farmers can be measured in tens of millions of cubic meters and would fully meet our domestic needs. only for human survival, but also for a normal life, “Jansons says.

In May of this year there were also ideas on which to think about restrictions on the export of wood to slow down the increase in prices on the domestic market. On the issue of export restrictions, Jansons believes this would be a field for international law attorneys to understand the extent to which state protectionism is possible in Latvia. So far, no concrete decision has been made on the restriction.
