In order to provide customers and investors with quickly accessible and clear information on the available electrical network capacity, Sadales tīkls AS has launched a new online tool – the free capacity map. This digital map provides information on distribution substations and the capacity available in them for power consumption and power generation or electricity production. The new self-service tool is available for everyone on the company website www.sadalestikls.lv.
The information available on the free capacity map will be useful for customers who plan on setting up a connection with a large consumption or generation capacity, for example, investors, developers of large production companies or solar and wind power stations. Also, this information will be useful to local governments when planning business development and investment attraction possibilities.
To attain the necessary information, customers need to indicate the type of connection by specifying whether it is required for generation or consumption, as well as the required capacity (in megawatts).
“We live in a time where electric power is playing an increasing role in the attainment of climate neutrality goals and in the advancement of economic processes. In line with these trends, customers in Latvia are also becoming more interested in setting up micro generators, as well as developing solar and wind power stations. The network of electric car charging stations is also becoming more extensive. The availability of the required capacity is an important condition when making a decision on the most suitable location for creating an energy efficient production unit. In order for electrification to advance at an even more rapid pace in Latvia, we’ve created a digital tool that provides information on the capacity available at the large connection points (distribution substations) of our electrical network. We hope that this tool will become a reliable partner for territorial development planners, investors, and businesses,” Jānis Kirkovalds, Member of the Board and Chief Development Officer at Sadales tīkls, elaborates.
The data of the map are updated on a regular basis, making it possible for customers to get the information they need in a quick and simple manner.
The free capacity map adds to the range of the digital maps of Sadales tīkls. For those interested, www.sadalestikls.lv already offers information on power outages, the cost of new connections, electrical network reconstruction works, as well as route and protection zone clearance works.
