Natural gas for your business!

Latvijas Gāze helps others to obtain an environmentally friendly energy source – natural gas, and also actively uses the advantages provided by the development of environmentally friendly technology. Our goal is to maximize the use of natural gas in different areas where other fossil fuels are currently used, including energy, heating and transport. For instance, the company has been popularizing and developing the use of CNG (compressed natural gas) in road transport, thus facilitating a faster transition to the use of environmentally friendly fuels.

Latvijas Gāze takes care of the wellbeing of its employees. Workers are provided with a safe and healthy working environment, including safe and healthy workplaces, technical resources and personal protective equipment. The company has entered into a collective agreement with the LAKRS trade union of public service and transport workers.

Latvijas Gāze pays special attention to professional ethics and takes a zero-tolerance approach to corruption and bribery in relation to services both provided and received. Latvijas Gāze cooperates with a very large number of customers on a daily basis, the company has 116 employees, therefore we pay great attention to the protection of privacy and personal data. The company strictly adheres to the personal data protection requirements set by both national and European Union laws and regulations.

Latvijas Gāze is convinced that natural gas users can help reduce its impact on the environment, therefore customers and other interested parties are regularly educated about the possibilities of saving energy resources, including natural gas. The company is also working to persuade consumers in all segments to replace obsolete, inefficient equipment with more modern solutions. We believe that it is important to participate in various social processes and that is why Latvijas Gāze supports sports, art and the healthcare system.

Studies have found that reducing the temperature in a room by 1°C can save up to 5% of the energy required to heat that room. An effective solution is programmable thermostats, which automatically adjust the temperature when there is no one in the building, and allow you to maintain different temperature modes in different places. The recommended temperature for office premises is 19°C to 21°C, for production premises, workshops – 16°C to 19°C, for warehouses 10°C to 12°C.

Obsolete equipment and devices no longer work with maximum efficiency, so they are worth replacing. Energy-efficient appliances are likely to be more expensive but consume less energy, resulting in long-term savings. In order for the devices to last as long as possible, they must be regularly and properly maintained. We recommend that you thoroughly research the market and consult specialists before buying new equipment in order to find the best and most energy-efficient solution.

Changeable weather and cold winters in our region make energy efficiency a very important matter. Are the buildings heat resistant enough? Does heat not "escape into the air" through walls, doors, windows? How energy efficient is the energy production process?

A professional energy audit will help you to understand how efficiently energy is being used and find the optimum way to improve the situation.

The audit should cover 90% of the entire enterprise, distinguishing between energy consumers and energy consumption volumes, including energy resources used for heating buildings, lighting, hot water, electricity used for the operation of ventilation systems, and energy consumed during the industrial processes.

Decisions on practical solutions to save electricity, gas, heat are made by the company’s management, but care must be taken to engage all employees in energy-saving measures. Educate the employees about energy efficiency, encourage them to come up with their own ideas how to save energy. Appoint those who will be responsible for introduction of the good practice.
