  • INT-HERIT Sigulda
    OPERATIONAL IMPLEMENTATION FRAMEWORK Sigulda The Development Strategy of Sigulda Castle Complex 2 Introduction The main challenge presented by the Development Strategy of Sigulda Castle Complex is revitalization of this historical site – Sigulda Castle Complex. Time has left many layers here from when the castle was built back in the 13th century through to the time it lost its importance as a military fortification in the 18th century. In 19th century the outer castle was flourishing and the castle ruins had become a popular place for lovers to go on romantic walks. In its grounds the Kropotkin family built the New Castle and established the manor centre. The traditions of tourism in Sigulda were thus initiated. After surviving the World War I, the New Castle was given to the Latvian Association of Journalists and Writers. The manor buildings and the New Castle underwent major renovations in 1937 thus transforming the interior of the castle into a pearl of Romanticism leaving the outer facade as a sole example of the castle’s historical neo- Gothic appearance. After World War II, for almost 40 years, access to the castle grounds was restricted and medical institutions were installed in the buildings. The revitalization of Sigulda Castle Complex was a dream by Siguldians for many years. Initially it seemed almost impossible as the site was in poor condition demanding way too much resourced from a small municipality of about 17 000 inhabitants. However, when the vision is clear and shared by majority even the most daring dreams may be reachable. Participation in URBACT Programme was seen as one of the steps for a successful implementation of the Development Strategy of Sigulda Castle Complex.

THE CHAIRMAN'S FOREWORD The year 2018 has been dynamic for the Regulator with significant changes in regulatory development. In early 2018, a new operational strategy for the years 2018-2021 was approved, defining key priorities for the service quality, availability and setting economically justified prices The most significant event in the energy sector was the agreement between the Finnish, Estonian and Latvian regulators on the creation of a single natural gas market, which is planned to be launched in 2020. This will mean that a single entry-exit tariff zone will be applied in the future, namely, only the tariffs on the external border of the unified zone will be applied for transporting natural gas through the systems of these countries but no transmission tariff will be applied at cross-border points between Latvia, Estonia and Finland. Last year, the Regulator also approved new natural gas distribution system service tariffs.
