I don't know the answer to your question for certain, but let me make an educated guess:
- Some electricity production in Latvia is natural gas based cogeneration, meaning it needs to run for inhabitants to have hot water.
- At Pļaviņas hydro station [0], the biggest in the Baltics with 894 MW, water levels were lowered from July 11 until August 20 for maintenance work. Production might not have resumed yet.
- Latvia has an extremely large natural gas storage facility at Inčukalns [0]. This might have something to do with it.
