Overview
Azerbaijan’s energy sector remains heavily reliant on hydrocarbons, which dominate exports and economic output. Recent policy updates, including a revised energy law and climate commitments, aim to diversify supply through expanded renewables and efficiency measures, while maintaining gas exports to Europe. State-led entities oversee energy regulation, production, and infrastructure development.
Get more details on the table of contents and data files, as well as the list of graphs and tables by browsing the tabs below.
Highlights
- The hydrocarbon sector accounts for 90% of total exports of goods and around 1/3 of the GDP.
- Azerbaijan's NDC3.0 was submitted in 2025 and the first NEEAP is under development.
- 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), in which SOCAR, the national public oil company, has stakes of around 20%.
- Gas production has doubled since 2018 and gas dominate primary energy consumption (66% in 2025) and power generation (86% in 2025).
- Gasoline and diesel prices increased in 2024 after three years of stability and are twice lower than in Türkiye.
- Residential electricity and gas prices are regulated and much lower than in Türkiye.
- Europe aims to import 20 bcm/year of gas from the Southern Gas Corridor in 2027.
- The Ministry of Energy has signed agreements with foreign companies to develop over 20 GW of renewables.
Energy & Climate Policy Framework
The Ministry of Energy is the central executive authority responsible for implementing energy policy.
Energy Companies
Electricity:
Azerenerji is the main electricity production company with a power generation of 25.6 TWh in 2025 (89% of the total generation and 93% of the installed capacity); nearly 90% of this electricity was generated from thermal energies.
Energy Supply & Demand
Gas:
Gas production follows the commissioning of Shah Deniz phases and has more than doubled since 2018 (20 bcm), reaching 40 bcm in 2025. Previously, gas production, which halved between 1990 and 2003 (5 bcm), surged with the commissioning of the Shah Deniz 1 (SD-1) field in 2006 (17 bcm in 2008), ramped up to 20 bcm in 2018 (commissioning of Shah Deniz 2) and doubled until 2024.
Energy Use and Price by Sector
Energy Prices in Residential:
Energy prices are regulated for households. They rose by 5% to US$4.9/kWh in 2024 and remained stable in 2025. Previously, they dropped by 11% in 2021 to US$4.7c/kWh and remained stable until 2023. The price of natural gas, relatively stable since 2021 at USD0.6c/kWh, grew by 9% to USD0.76c/kWh in 2025.
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.
