Highlights
- The first NDC set a commitment to reduce GHG emissions by 35% in 2030 compared to 1990.
- The wind and solar capacity in 2020 was much lower than planned.
- State electricity company Azerenerji is the main player in the electricity sector.
- Two consortia operated by BP dominate the hydrocarbon sector: AIOC for oil and Shah Deniz for gas.
- Almost all the electricity is generated from gas (94% in 2020).
- The country has substantial renewable potential, including hydropower.
- Gasoline and diesel prices are low, compared to the EU average or Turkey.
- Per capita consumption is rather low and equals about half of the CIS region average.
- Total energy consumption, of which two thirds is gas, increased by 9% in 2019.
- The country is expanding its gas export capacities and is starting to develop renewable projects.

Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The Ministry of Energy is the central executive authority responsible for implementing energy policy.
The "Tariff Council" has regulated the prices of commodities and services under a monopoly situation, including energy prices.
Energy Companies
Electricity:
Azerenerji is Azerbaijan's public vertically integrated electricity company. It was transformed into a public holding company in 1996, and should be privatised once it has been able to produce sufficient profit to reimburse its debts.
Energy Supply
Resources:
Azerbaijan has important hydrocarbon reserves: 949 Mt for oil and 1 917 bcm for gas (at the end of 2020). Hydroelectric resources are relatively abundant (43 TWh) and only a small proportion is exploited (7 TWh). The solar and wind energy potentials are estimated at about 23 GW and 3 GW, respectively.
Energy Prices
Electricity:
Between 2017 and 2020, the price of electricity has remained stable at around US$6.5c/kWh for industry and US$5.3c/kWh for households, but in 2021 the households price increased by 11% (US$5.9c/kWh).

Energy Consumption
Per capita consumption is around 1.5 toe in 2020, including 2 170 kWh of electricity.
Total energy consumption increased at the rapid pace of 4%/year between 2010 and 2016; it remained stable throughout 2016-2018 (14 Mtoe) and increased by 9% in 2019 and dropped by 3% in 2020 to 15.5 Mtoe.
Issues & Prospects
Three objectives are to be met in the future in the hydrocarbon sector: the development of oil and gas resources; the retrofitting of the petrochemical industry; and the development of the infrastructure to facilitate exports and to promote Azerbaijan as a crossroads for transits to Europe.

In the Azerbaijan energy market report you will find the following tables:
- Economic Indicators: Annual historical data including population, GDP growth, imports and exports, inflation rate, energy security and efficiency indicators, CO2 emissions.
- Supply Indicators: Historical data including oil and gas reserves, electric and refining capacity, energy production, power production and external trade. All are detailed by energy source.
- Demand Indicators: Historical data including consumption per inhabitant, consumption trends, total consumption by energy source, final consumption by energy source and sector, and electricity consumption by sector.
- Energy Balances: Single table displaying the overall energy industry balance per annum, also graphically displayed by energy sub-segment.
- Infrastructure Projects: Covers power plant projects by energy, technology, status and operator.
The Azerbaijan energy market data since 1990 and up to 2020 is included in the Excel file accompanying the Azerbaijan country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.
Key Data included in the excelsheet:
- Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO2 emissions.
- Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
- Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
- Energy Balance: total and per energy.
- Azerbaijan Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Azerbaijan energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO2 emissions (from fuel combustion).
