Elektrum Social Responsibility

FIZMIX.lv is an educational portal for pupils, parents and teachers that helps users explore physics and the exact sciences in an engaging and easy-to-understand way. The portal offers experiments, learning materials, tasks and practical examples that spark curiosity and inspire pupils to choose future professions in STEM fields. Teachers also have access to a dedicated section with learning materials and tasks.

The knowledge competition for pupils of grades 8 and 9 promotes interest in physics, exact sciences and energy in an engaging way. It helps pupils connect theoretical knowledge with practice, explore environmentally friendly energy solutions and develop an understanding of the energy sector, inspiring them to choose future professions in STEM fields.

Elektrum STEAM Day is an educational online event for pupils of grades 7–11 in Latvian schools. Through this initiative, we promote young people's interest in STEAM fields – science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics – by introducing them to the experience of industry professionals, innovations and future career opportunities.

Since 1997, Elektrum Energy Centre has been a centre of knowledge and experience where energy sector becomes comprehensible to everyone. Through free classes for pupils, lectures, seminars and public education initiatives, we help people better understand energy generation, sustainability and the responsible use of resources, promoting useful knowledge both in everyday life and in the future.

Elektrum Energy Museum in Ķegums is the only energy museum in Latvia, where history, technology and a vision of the future come together. The museum houses more than 30,000 exhibits, including Eduards Kraucs’ collection of photographic negatives, included in the UNESCO Memory of the World Programme. Through exhibitions and educational activities, we preserve the heritage of the energy sector and inspire people to explore the industry’s development and future opportunities.

We care for the river and its surrounding environment is our responsibility as well, since the Daugava River is an integral part of the Elektrum story and of renewable energy generation. We implement river clean-up projects in the Daugava River basin that help preserve aquatic ecosystems, promote biodiversity and strengthen public awareness of the importance of conserving natural resources. We believe that sustainable energy production begins with care for the environment and investment in future generations.

We manage Elektrum solar parks in an environmentally friendly way, combining renewable energy production with sustainable land management. In cooperation with Bitāni Farm, sheep graze the grass at the Birži Solar Park, ensuring natural maintenance of the area while enjoying a safe and suitable environment. This initiative shows that sustainable solutions can benefit both nature and people.

Protecting the Daugava River is our responsibility as well, therefore Elektrum is involved in the remediation project for a historically contaminated site in Aizkraukle, implemented under the supervision of the State Environmental Service. Together with partners, we are working to prevent petroleum products from entering the Daugava River and to help preserve a cleaner environment for future generations.

We are proud to be part of the solutions that help to protect bat populations. Together with our partners, we are implementing protection measures based on expert recommendations and developing the Chiroptera STOP project to promote a balance between nature conservation and the development of renewable energy through innovative technologies.
