# Latvian government dispute over K2 Ventum wind farm > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/latvian-government-dispute-over-k2-ventum-wind-farm > Updated: 2026-08-25T06:21:56.000Z. Sources: 4. Developments: 2. The Latvian government has moved toward rejecting a proposal by SIA K2 Ventum to construct a wind power plant park and associated transmission infrastructure in the South Kurzeme and Kuldīga municipalities. The Ministry of Climate and Energy cited an insufficient legal and factual basis for approval, noting concerns regarding public consultation requirements and whether the project complies with protection zone laws for the Baltic Sea and Gulf of Riga coasts. K2 Ventum contested these delays, noting that the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Regional Development had previously confirmed the activities did not violate the Protection Zone Law. Following the government’s decision to withhold approval, K2 Ventum announced plans to sue the Cabinet of Ministers. The company alleges procedural violations, claiming the government altered draft orders on the day of the decision, failed to allow sufficient review time, and denied legal representatives entry to the Cabinet meeting. The project remains a point of local contention; proponents suggest it is essential for energy independence and would provide approximately 800,000 EUR annually for local infrastructure, while some residents have raised concerns regarding its impact. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-25: K2 Ventum to sue Latvian government over wind farm rejection K2 Ventum plans to sue the Latvian government over the rejection of its wind farm project, alleging procedural violations and lack of legal basis during the decision-making process. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/k2-ventum-to-sue-latvian-government-over-wind-farm-rejection ### 2026-08-17: Latvian government considers rejection of K2 Ventum wind farm The Latvian government plans to reject K2 Ventum’s wind farm proposal due to legal uncertainties and lack of public consultation, while the developer demands a final decision by August 31. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/latvian-government-considers-rejection-of-k2-ventum-wind-farm --- Cite as: Latvian government dispute over K2 Ventum wind farm.
