Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
Bahrain is an island nation in the Persian Gulf, located between the Qatar peninsula and the north eastern coast of Saudi Arabia
The Ministry of Electricity and Water Affairs supervises the electricity sector, renewables, and energy efficiency.
The Ministry of Oil oversees the hydrocarbon sector.
Energy Companies
Gas:
The gas exploration and exploitation activities are managed by Banagas, Bahrain National Gas Company(State 75%, Chevron Bahrain 12.5% and K.S.C through Boubyan Petrochemical Company, 12.5%).
Banagas operates several gas plants to extract propane, butane and naphtha from associated gas extracted from the oil wells and refinery off-gas.
Energy Supply
Gas:
Gas production has remained stable since 2014 (15 bcm in 2018). Before it had increased rapidly between 2004 and 2014 (5%/year).
Energy Prices
Oil:
The fall in oil prices since 2014 (and absence of buffers) has caused a significant deterioration in Bahrain's public finances. Consequently, the government resorted to austerity measures, with several increases in fuel prices over the last 6 years.
Energy Consumption
Per capita energy consumption reached 9.3 toe in 2018, while electricity consumption per capita was 17 MWh.
Total energy consumption has increased slightly since 2014 (0.4%/year) to 14.3 Mtoe in 2018.

Issues & Prospects
Electricity:
Bahrain's electricity and water master plan projects that peak demand in summer will almost double from 3.4 GW in2016 to 6.5 GW in 2030.
