LONG TITLE / GARAIS NOSAUKUMS

LATVIJAS REPUBLIKAS LIKUMS PAR RAŽOŠANAS JAUDAS IESTĀDI UN ENERĢĒTISKĀS DROŠĪBAS NODROŠINĀJUMU

A LAW OF THE REPUBLIC OF LATVIA concerning the establishment of the Latvian Productive Capacity Authority (Latvijas ražošanas jaudas iestāde, "LRJI") as a state-owned joint-stock company on the operational chassis of JSC Development Finance Institution Altum; the establishment of the Civic Robot Corps of Latvia (Latvijas Pilsoņu Robotu Korpuss, "LPRK") as a public-good labour body; the conferral of a Personal Productive Asset entitlement (Personiskā Ražošanas Aktīva Tiesība) on every Latvian citizen ordinarily resident in the Republic, identified by Personas kods and enrolled through the existing Valsts sociālās apdrošināšanas aģentūra (VSAA) and Latvija.lv unified state-service portal infrastructure; five Regional Delivery Units (Reģionālās piegādes vienības) corresponding to the five statistical planning regions (Rīgas, Vidzemes, Kurzemes, Zemgales, Latgales); ENERGY SECURITY elevated as a co-equal Title coordinating with Latvenergo AS, Augstsprieguma tīkls AS (AST), AS Sadales tīkls, and the post- Baltic-Synchro (9 February 2025) Continental Europe Synchronous Area integration; coordination with the Latvian Recovery and Resilience Plan (€1.97 billion EU NextGenerationEU allocation); explicit declination to establish any new Latvian personal income tax, corporate income tax, value added tax, excise duty, or other Latvian tax of any kind for the funding of the Authority; explicit preservation of Latvijas Banka, Altum (beyond authorised coordination), Latvenergo, AST, Sadales tīkls, VAS Latvijas dzelzceļš, Latvijas Pasts, and all other existing Latvian institutions; consistency with the Satversme and the philosophical heritage of the Barricades of 1991, Krišjānis Barons, and the Dziesmu un deju svētki cooperative-cultural tradition; and provision for connected purposes.

LEGISLATIVE ROUTING NOTE

This Draft Law (Likumprojekts) is for introduction in the Saeima of the Republic of Latvia during the 14th Saeima, 2026 Session.

Suggested committee referrals:

- Budžeta un finanšu (nodokļu) komisija (Budget and Finance / Tax Committee) — lead committee for fiscal provisions and Altum coordination - Tautsaimniecības, agrārās, vides un reģionālās politikas komisija (National Economy, Agrarian, Environmental, and Regional Policy Committee) — for productive-capacity provisions and energy coordination - Aizsardzības, iekšlietu un korupcijas novēršanas komisija (Defence, Internal Affairs, and Anti-Corruption Committee) — for the strategic-security and energy-resilience provisions - Sociālo un darba lietu komisija (Social and Labour Affairs Committee) — for Personal Productive Asset entitlement and VSAA coordination - Eiropas lietu komisija (European Affairs Committee) — for RRF coordination - Cilvēktiesību un sabiedrisko lietu komisija (Human Rights and Public Affairs Committee) — for the Satversme-consistency provisions

Funding Architecture: Four load-bearing channels: (a) State-budget annual appropriation starting with €200 million

    for FY2027;

(b) Altum-coordinated lending and guarantees up to €600 million

    cumulative outstanding (Article 12);

(c) Latvian RRF coordination where consistent with existing RRP

    investment and reform lines (Article 13);

(d) Operating revenue from at-cost sales of goods produced by the

    Authority and the Civic Robot Corps of Latvia.

No new Latvian taxation is established by this Act.

TITLE I — SHORT TITLE, FINDINGS, DECLARATIONS

ARTICLE 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the "Latvia Productive Capacity Authority and Energy Security Act 2026" (Latvijas ražošanas jaudas iestādes un enerģētiskās drošības likums 2026).

ARTICLE 2. FINDINGS.

The Saeima finds:

FINDING 1 — ALTUM AS INDIGENOUS LATVIAN CHASSIS. Latvia already operates JSC Development Finance Institution Altum (AS "Attīstības finanšu institūcija Altum"), the state-owned development finance institution providing loans, guarantees, and venture-capital investments in state-defined priority areas. Altum is the indigenous Latvian chassis for productive-capacity financing at sovereign scale and is the natural Latvian-institutional anchor for the Authority under this Act, consistent with the per-jurisdiction-indigenous doctrine applied across the sibling international Productive Capacity Authority adaptations.

FINDING 2 — BALTIC SYNCHRO ESTABLISHED LATVIAN ENERGY SOVEREIGNTY. On 9 February 2025 at 14:05 EET, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania jointly disconnected from the IPS/UPS Soviet-era electricity grid and the 2001 BRELL Agreement under Moscow's centralised dispatch, and synchronised with the Continental Europe Synchronous Area (CESA) managed by ENTSO-E. The Baltic Synchro is the largest single-event reorientation of national-grid governance in post-1991 Latvian history. Energy security is now anchored on European solidarity rather than Russian-controlled dispatch. This Act elevates Energy Security as a co-equal Title of the Authority's mandate to consolidate and extend the strategic gains of the Baltic Synchro.

FINDING 3 — LATVIAN RECOVERY AND RESILIENCE FUNDING ALREADY IN DEPLOYMENT. The Latvian Recovery and Resilience Plan, with a total €1.97 billion EU NextGenerationEU allocation, has already disbursed multiple tranches including the €293 million third payment (9 May 2025) and the €371.2 million fourth penultimate payment (8 May 2026). The Authority coordinates with the existing Latvian RRP framework where consistent with approved investment and reform lines.

FINDING 4 — REPLICATION THRESHOLD AND LATVIAN ENGINEERING CAPACITY. Replication-threshold humanoid robotic manufacturing technology arrived in Q4 2025 through Q2 2026 (see Verification Notes). Latvia hosts engineering capacity at Riga Technical University, the University of Latvia, the Latvian University of Life Sciences and Technologies, and a growing Latvian IT sector. Latvia is positioned to deploy this technology under Latvian productive- capacity infrastructure rather than to import the goods the technology will produce.

FINDING 5 — BARRICADES OF 1991 ANCHORS THE CITIZEN-SHAREHOLDER STRUCTURE. The Barricades of 1991 (13-27 January 1991), in which Latvian civilians built barricades to defend the Saeima, the Cabinet of Ministers, Latvian Television, Latvian Radio, the Latvian Telegraph Agency, and other critical infrastructure against Soviet OMON forces, established the living national- memory principle that Latvian sovereignty is defended by Latvian citizens collectively. Five Latvians died defending the Barricades. The Personal Productive Asset entitlement under this Act is the modern operational expression of that principle: every Latvian citizen holds a non-transferable share in Latvian productive-capacity infrastructure, structurally inheriting the Barricades' principle that the Republic is the common endeavour of its citizens.

FINDING 6 — DZIESMU UN DEJU SVĒTKI ANCHORS COOPERATIVE CULTURAL CAPACITY. The Latvian Song and Dance Celebration (Dziesmu un deju svētki), continuous since 1873, inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, mobilises tens of thousands of Latvian singers and dancers from every municipality in a continuous cooperative- cultural tradition. The Civic Robot Corps of Latvia inherits the operational precedent of Dziesmu un deju svētki: structured citizen mobilisation at population scale, anchored on cooperative- cultural memory, sustained across generations.

FINDING 7 — KRIŠJĀNIS BARONS AND THE DAINAS ANCHOR LATVIAN NATIONAL CULTURAL MEMORY. Krišjānis Barons (1835-1923), "Father of the Dainas," edited the Latviešu Dainas corpus of approximately 217,996 Latvian folk songs that anchor Latvian national identity and the cooperative-cultural-memory tradition. The Authority's philosophical foundation rests on the principle that Latvian collective capacity, demonstrated by the Dainas, the Barricades, and Dziesmu un deju svētki, is fully sufficient to operate productive-capacity infrastructure at the scale Latvia requires.

ARTICLE 3. DECLARATIONS.

DECLARATION 1 — PERSONAL PRODUCTIVE ASSET ENTITLEMENT. The Saeima declares that every Latvian citizen ordinarily resident in the Republic of Latvia, identified by Personas kods, shall enjoy as a matter of statutory right under this Act a Personal Productive Asset entitlement (Personiskā Ražošanas Aktīva Tiesība) consisting of one non-transferable Productive Capacity Share, the annual distribution of dividends from inter-regional pooled productive- capacity revenue, and access to at-cost basic-needs goods produced by the Civic Robot Corps of Latvia.

DECLARATION 2 — EXISTING LATVIAN INSTITUTIONS UNAFFECTED. Nothing in this Act affects the establishment, functions, governance, or operation of:

(a) Latvijas Banka (the central bank within the Eurosystem); (b) Altum (JSC Development Finance Institution Altum), beyond the

    coordination expressly authorised by Article 12;

(c) Latvenergo AS, Augstsprieguma tīkls AS (AST), AS Sadales

    tīkls, VAS Latvijas dzelzceļš, Latvijas Pasts, and other

    coordination expressly authorised by Article 13;

(f) Latvian consumer and agricultural cooperatives in the

    kooperatīvs tradition;

(g) The Saeima, the Cabinet of Ministers (Ministru kabinets), the

    President of the Republic (Valsts prezidents), the Constitutional

DECLARATION 3 — NO NEW LATVIAN TAXATION. No new Latvian IIN, UIN, PVN, akcīzes nodoklis, or other Latvian tax of any kind is established, extended, or increased by this Act.

DECLARATION 4 — MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL AUTONOMY RESPECTED. Nothing in this Act diminishes the constitutional and statutory autonomy of the 119 Latvian municipalities or the five statistical planning regions. The Regional Delivery Units under Title IV operate in coordination with, not in displacement of, municipal and regional structures.

ARTICLE 18. SERVICE LINES.

The Corps shall operate:

(a) At-cost goods production and distribution (coordinating with

    the Food, Resource, and Commodity Assurance Programme under
    the sibling Latvia Food Assurance Act);

(b) Latgale-priority distribution (the eastern Latvian region

    bordering Russia and Belarus, with strategic-security
    significance and historic patterns of geographic and economic
    marginalisation that warrant priority Corps deployment);

(c) Daugava-cascade hydropower coordination with Latvenergo for

    Corps-operated maintenance and modernisation services at the
    Pļaviņas, Ķegums, and Rīga hydroelectric power plants;

(d) Baltic offshore-wind deployment coordination with Latvenergo,

        Latvian civil service (Valsts dienests), to the Latvian
        National Armed Forces, to the Zemessardze, and to state-
        owned enterprises.

TITLE VI — ENERGY SECURITY AND BALTIC SYNCHRO COORDINATION

ARTICLE 20. ENERGY SECURITY AS A CO-EQUAL MANDATE.

The Saeima declares that ENERGY SECURITY of the Republic of Latvia is a co-equal Title of the Authority's mandate alongside productive capacity and the Civic Robot Corps. The structural reasons are:

(a) The 9 February 2025 Baltic Synchro disconnection from BRELL

    and synchronisation with the Continental Europe Synchronous
    Area (CESA) consolidated Latvian energy sovereignty;
    sustaining and extending those gains is a permanent national
    priority;

(b) The Daugava hydroelectric cascade (Pļaviņas, Ķegums, Rīga)

    operated by Latvenergo is a load-bearing Latvian indigenous
    energy asset that requires sustained modernisation investment;

(c) The Baltic offshore-wind build-out under the Latvia-Estonia

    ELWIND project and other developments is the principal
    Latvian future-capacity programme;

(d) NATO eastern-frontier security context requires energy

    resilience independent of any Russian-controlled infrastructure.

ARTICLE 21. LATVENERGO AND AST COORDINATION.

(1) The Authority and Latvenergo AS shall enter a Coordination

    Agreement within twelve months of the Authority's establishment,
    providing for Corps-operated deployment and maintenance services
    for Latvenergo's electricity-generation portfolio, including
    the Daugava hydroelectric cascade and Latvenergo's growing
    renewable-energy portfolio.

(2) The Authority and Augstsprieguma tīkls AS (AST) shall enter a

    parallel Coordination Agreement providing for Corps-operated
    grid-deployment and maintenance services in support of the
    post-Baltic-Synchro Latvian grid integration with CESA.

(3) The Authority does not direct, control, or modify Latvenergo

    or AST operations.

ARTICLE 22. BALTIC OFFSHORE-WIND COORDINATION.

The Authority shall coordinate with Latvenergo, AST, the Ministry of Climate and Energy, and the Latvia-Estonia ELWIND joint offshore- wind project for Corps-operated deployment and maintenance services for Latvian Baltic Sea offshore-wind capacity.

ARTICLE 23. STRATEGIC RESERVES AND NATO EASTERN-FRONTIER SECURITY.

(1) Recognising Latvia's NATO eastern-frontier position, the

    Authority shall maintain strategic reserves of basic-needs
    goods, distributed across the five Regional Delivery Units
    with priority allocation to the Latgale region, sufficient to
    support Latvian civil-defence requirements consistent with the
    Ministry of Defence (Aizsardzības ministrija) and Latvian
    National Armed Forces planning.

(2) The strategic reserves are managed in coordination with the

    Latvian National Armed Forces and the Zemessardze.

TITLE VII — IMPLEMENTATION PHASES

ARTICLE 24. FOUR-PHASE IMPLEMENTATION.

PHASE I — ESTABLISHMENT (Months 0-12). Authority established; Supervisory Board and Management Board appointed; five RPVs seated; Productive Capacity Shares issued via Personas kods + VSAA + Latvija.lv; Altum Coordination Agreement signed.
