Latvia has issued a clarification regarding reports suggesting the nation plans to transfer the TEC-2 power plant to Ukraine. According to statements released on June 8, 2026, the claim that Latvia intends to donate the TEC-2 facility is inaccurate. The misinformation originated from Jānis Lauva on Facebook, who alleged that the state had secretly decided to relinquish the TEC-2 asset.
However, sources, including Latvenergo communication director Andris Siksnis, have refuted this assertion. Instead, official communications indicate that the current planning focus involves Ukraine donating older, disused power facilities. The scope of any potential donation from Latvia is limited to plants that have been out of service for an extended period, specifically noted as being unused for 13 years.
These clarifications aim to correct the record regarding Latvia’s energy cooperation efforts. The key takeaway is that the transfer of the active TEC-2 plant to Ukraine is not planned. The discussions surrounding energy infrastructure are focused on the transfer of aging assets, rather than major operational facilities.
This refutes the misleading narratives circulating online concerning the disposition of critical national energy resources.
