Others(Climate mitigation measures)

On July 14 the Government of the Republic of Latvia approved the Regulation on the conditions and procedures for issuing a state loan to local governments for mitigation and prevention of the impact of an emergency situation related to the spread of Covid-19, which sets out the rules for the establishment with regard to the procedure and conditions for the submission and evaluation of local government investment projects. Simultaneously the conditions for issuing state loans to reduce and prevent the impact of the emergency situation related to the spread of COVID-19 in local governments have been clarified.
With this Regulation a positive impact on the environment will be ensured, as the energy efficiency of municipal buildings will be improved, ensuring compliance of the building with the minimum permissible level of building energy efficiency and building energy certificate, where the investment project does not exceed 4 euros per year. When performing the energy audit, it must be taken into account that after the implementation of the energy efficiency measures recommended by the energy auditor, the building must ensure compliance with the requirements specified in the building standards.
The provision of support for the connection of residents’ real estate to the public service provider’s centralized sewerage and water supply networks (existing main pipelines built within the framework of European Union funds projects) on the basis of binding regulations in force in the municipality will also ensure a positive impact on the environment.
