A survey by Norstat Latvia reveals that 50% of respondents believe the ELWIND offshore wind park will positively impact Latvia's economy. Awareness of the project has risen to 65%, up from 61% last year.

The majority of respondents support the construction of the wind park off Kurzeme's coast, with 53% in favor. The ELWIND project aims to build a 2 GW offshore wind park in the Baltic Sea by 2035, enhancing energy independence and regional competitiveness.

Pre-development work will conclude in 2029, leading to a planned auction for the offshore site. The project is a collaboration between Latvia's Investment and Development Agency and Estonia's Environmental Investment Centre.
