Why it matters
The project aims to improve energy affordability and reduce energy poverty in Latvia. The EIB stated that the upgrades address the age of Latvia's apartment stock and associated heat loss from buildings. The financing allows Altum to provide loans to homeowners’ associations for energy efficiency programs.
