“The opening of the new Sarkandaugava overpass and the increase in traffic that followed encouraged us to carry out major reconstruction of our Sarkandaugava station. We are delighted that after six months of work, another modern, energy-efficient and customer-friendly Virši power station has opened its doors to customers. We are also actively continuing the network expansion work in other locations in Riga and Pierīga. We have recently opened a new station near Olaine, we plan to open a new station on Viskaļu iela in Riga by the end of the year, and in November and December the construction process starts for new stations in Sigulda and near Salaspils,” says Jānis Vība, Chairman of the Board of Virši.
