Dj Gustavito, one of the co-authors of the version presented by EHR HIPHOP Hits music channel FM, says: “It is very good that we have started to develop this movement. I’m all for listeners having choice and making this genre of music accessible to the general public. Radio is the platform where you can select the latest songs of this genre. The level of hip-hop in Latvia has risen a lot in recent years – both in terms of musical presentation and lyrical decoration. This is also evidenced by the fact that many foreign hip-hop musicians come to Latvia and these concerts are very well attended.”

On the other hand, Toms Barons Lūkis, head of the EHR Latvian hits brand, while evaluating the manifesto, emphasizes: “It is a great pleasure that the hip-hop commune showed its unity and came to the manifesto. Of course, we are also glad that the Riga City Council allowed us to organize this event.

The big takeaway is that we’ve already shown that hip-hop is a cultural genre just like pop music, pop music, and many other types of music, the only difference is that it’s played significantly less on the radio.

Currently, we have launched the FM version of the EHR HIPHOP Hits music channel on the EHR application, the EHR website and other radio streaming sites. The songs of the Hiphop FM station are censored, they are played in English and Latvian, and we are ready to launch this version at a frequency of 100 megahertz.”

“The decision, of course, has to be made by NEPLP,”

says Tom Baron Lukis. “This was the moment when many of those present realized that hip-hop deserved a place on the airwaves. We see young people leaving traditional media and this is a unique platform for young people to consume. In addition, in this way, young people could be brought closer to their parents.

The new platform could dispel the misconceptions of some parents about what hip-hop is.

That it’s not just American gangsters, it’s the type of music that most broadly reflects the problems of society, so parents could also better understand their children through this music.”

Latvian National Armed Forces (NBS) Debunks Russian Propaganda Fear-Mongering

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com
written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Therefore, the NBS calls for a critical assessment of the tendentious speculations that have appeared in the information space from various sources about a possible increase in threats in Europe, including Latvia.

Also, NBS invites you not to share these messages further, so as not to support the Russian propaganda machine in its attempts to sow fear about a possible Russian attack on Latvia or another NATO member state.

The NBS also points out that the Russian military’s inability to win and the huge losses of resources in the more than two-year-long war in Ukraine show its systemic weakness and stagnation at all levels of its command. In addition, in order for Russia to attack one of the member states, it is necessary that several preconditions be fulfilled and a specific situation be created. Therefore, the NBS draws attention to the fact that such preconditions for Russian aggression against NATO members do not exist.

NBS reminds that Latvia has been a member of the strongest alliance in the world for almost 20 years. An attack on Latvia would mean an attack on all member states, which would be followed by an immediate reaction from NATO.

Recently, populist speculations about the inability of the NBS to protect the country have been voiced in the Latvian information space by various opinion-makers from Latvia and abroad. Therefore, the NBS calls on the public to keep a cool head, not to share or reinforce such messages – especially those spread by persons who are no longer serving in the armed forces, or have not been associated with the defense industry at all. By sharing questionable messages, these individuals unknowingly or knowingly do a disservice to Russia’s aggressive propaganda messages.

BMW Introduces Next-Generation Electric Car iX2 in Latvia

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com
written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

At the end of last year, BMW presented the next-generation BMW X2 and the electric BMW iX2, reflecting the BMW brand’s goal of sustainable development and the popularity of electromobility in the automotive industry, while maintaining premium class comfort and sporty character.

The new BMW electric car has arrived in Latvia, and BMW’s authorized representative “Inchcape Motors Latvija” predicts that such a model suitable for a wide range of drivers will contribute to the increase in sales of BMW electric cars in 2024.

The demand for electric cars in the Baltics is growing – last year we sold 52% more electric car models than in 2022. The increase in demand is fueled by the expansion of BMW’s model range in various segments, starting with the iX1 compact crossover and ending with the i5 business-class sedan and the i7 limousine-class model. The new iX2 is BMW’s seventh electric car model, which will further expand the options for drivers and, in our opinion, will contribute to the share of the Baltic electrified car market.

BMW car center manager Andris Ustup

Up to 449 km on a single charge

The new iX2 debuts in Latvia with the iX2 xDrive30 model, and BMW has already announced the launch of another fully electric iX2 model in the summer of 2024, information about which will follow.

This electric car model is powered by two electric motors with a total maximum power of up to 230 kW/313 hp. The BMW iX2 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds, while its top speed is 180 km/h. The impressive 64.8 kWh battery of this model allows the car to travel up to 449 km on a single charge.

Coupe-style sporty crossover

The fully electric BMW iX2 belongs to the new Sports Activity Coupé (SAC) in the model range. This model has undergone a series of improvements, starting with a sportier and more pronounced coupe-style body and modern design elements, ending with integrated modern technologies and autonomous driving solutions.

The body of the BMW iX2 marks the latest BMW design guidelines, which include the BMW Iconic Glow elliptical grille lighting and LED lights. BMW Iconic Glow the contoured grille lighting is also available for the first time in a BMW compact class car. The continuous curve of the roofline is BMW Sports Activity Coupé (SAC) concept car’s typical coupe silhouette.

The rear of the car has also become more expressive and progressive, thanks to the impressive bodywork, modern and innovative LED headlights and wide rear wheel arches.

Although the iX2 belongs to the compact car class, it has a really spacious interior. Compared to the previous generation, the new model has grown significantly in size – almost 20 cm in length, 2 cm in width, and 6.4 cm in height. On the other hand, the widened wheel arches and thresholds provide not only more space in the interior of the car, but also in the luggage compartment. By opening the new electric car’s electrically operated boot lid and folding down the rear seats, the boot capacity can be increased from 525 to 1,400 litres.

The car interior becomes a movie or game zone

As with all new models, the iX2 also includes the latest digital solutions and services. A large curved BMW screen is installed in front of the driver. During driving breaks AirConsole the program turns this screen into a gaming console, and it can also be used to watch movies and TV series.

For an additional fee, a BMW projection screen is available, which provides the driver with important information without taking his eyes off the road, as well as active cruise control with Stop & Go and remote theft recorder functions. Safety is also provided by an additional airbag that is integrated between the driver and the front passenger as standard.

The standard equipment of the iX2 also includes a forward collision warning system, a speed maintenance system with automatic braking, a lane control system, a parking assist system with a reversing camera, as well as other useful systems.

The optional Driving Assistant Professional keeps the iX2 in its lane and maintains a safe distance at speeds of up to 180 km/h. The BMW iX2 also offers a feature that is particularly useful in traffic jams – the ability to automatically stop and resume movement when necessary. On the other hand, the high beam assist system will be especially useful when driving in the dark on the highway – the driver has the opportunity to move while keeping the high beams on, because BMW will automatically protect other road users from being dazzled.

The new BMW iX2 can already be viewed at the BMW showroom “Inchcape Motors Latvia”, Dārzciema Street 64A, Riga. In Latvia, the new BMW iX2 can be purchased at the recommended retail price – starting from 60,400 euros.

2023 Review: Over 20 Thousand Electricity Producers Connected to Distribution System, Including Solar and Wind Generators

2023 Review: Over 20 Thousand Electricity Producers Connected to Distribution System, Including Solar and Wind Generators

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com
written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

At the end of 2023, more than 20 thousand electricity producers were connected to the distribution system, including solar and wind generators, hydroelectric power stations, cogeneration and biomass stations, etc. The total production capacity of these stations exceeds 560 megawatts (MW).

The information published here is part of “AS “Sadales tīkls” electricity supply review: January-December 2023″. Full article available AS “Sadales tīkls” website.

The last few years have passed in the sign of solar generation. Thanks to the rapid pace of development of solar generation, the total generation capacity in the distribution system has more than doubled in a few years. At the end of 2023, the solar generation capacity exceeded the 300 MW threshold.

Microgeneration

In 2023, the relatively rapid development of microgeneration continued, while its pace was slightly slower than in 2022, when an unprecedented solar panel boom was experienced. If in 2022, almost 10,000 microgenerators with a total production capacity of ~80 megawatts (MW) were installed, then in 2023, almost 8,000 new microgenerators with a total production capacity of ~70 megawatts (MW) were connected to the distribution system. The total number of microgenerators connected to the distribution infrastructure exceeded 19 thousand at the end of 2023, but their total production capacity reached 160 megawatts (MW). A rapid increase in the pace of development can also be observed in the final months of the year, with the number of permits issued in December reaching 1,300. This is most likely related to changes in the net accounting system – you can become a member until April 30, 2024, and you can use it until April 28, 2029. for February, when this system will be closed.

The average production capacity of one micro-generator is 8 kilowatts (kW). In about 95% of cases, microgenerators are installed by private individuals, 5% by legal entities.

Solar power plants

The number of solar power plants connected to the distribution system at the end of 2023 was around 700, but the total capacity exceeded 140 MW, of which around 500 solar power plants with a total capacity of ~130 MW were connected in 2023. Last year, the average power of the connected power plants increased significantly: if in 2022 the average power of one power plant was approximately 85 kW, then in 2023 it reached 250 kW.

The amount of solar generation in the distribution system

For five consecutive months, solar energy accounted for the largest amount of production in the balance of producers connected to the distribution system, exceeding 20 gigawatt hours (GWh) in May, June, July and September. It is followed by biomass and biogas cogeneration plants with an average of 15 GWh.

In 2023, the amount of solar generation produced and transferred to the network is approximately 128 GWh, for comparison, in 2022, the total in 12 months was approximately 30 GWh, while in 2021 – 6.5 GWh.

The graphic clearly shows the seasonality of solar generation. A similar trend can be observed during the day as well, with solar generation peaking around noon. Under the influence of the mentioned trends, overproduction may occur during peak hours, which may mean low prices per kilowatt hour for electricity consumers, exchange tariff customers (in the summer of 2023, the price of electricity in the middle of the day is several times NordPool was zero or negative on the stock exchange), while during hours or months when the sun does not shine, electricity prices can be very high.
