It makes sense for them to connect their grids to the EU, but I wish renewables were also a part of this plan (no mention of the sort in the article)

    Well, I mean Latvia is ranked third among European countries already using the most renewable energy. Latvia came third with a 42 per cent share which mostly came from biomass and hydropower - they’ve been actively backing away from the Russian power grid for many years now.

    I’m sure they’ll invest in “green gas” or whatever imaginary false marketing term the oil and gas industry has come up with. But at least they won’t be coupled to Russia. Of all the countries though, I’m surprised they were still reliant on Russia. Only took them another war to realise they didn’t like Russia.
