This paper is dedicated for Latvian town and rural district heating system heat rate analysis. Developed methodology allows identifying indicators that influence heat tariff values and sets the benchmark values depending on the share of different fuels in tariff, capacity utilization rate and quantity of heat produced. The methodology is practically verified on 26 direct heating systems in Latvia that are operated by equipment using energy wood, natural gas and diesel fuel.
