Highlights

  • The country targets 6% of energy savings (compared to BAU) in 2025 and 20% of renewables in the power capacity mix in 2035.
  • Autoproducers own around half of the power capacity. IPPs operate around 80% of the public power capacity. Engie is the largest IPP.
  • Saudi Aramco is the main oil producer.
  • Power generation is nearly 100% based on gas.
  • Per capita consumption is among the top 5 highest in the world.
  • Industry represents more than half of the electricity consumption.
  • Electricity prices are stable, after rapid growth for industry users from 2016 to 2019.
  • Bahrain targets 200 MW of solar PV by 2025 and 400 MW by 2035.

  • Energy & Climate Policy Framework

    The Ministry of Electricity and Water Affairs supervises the electricity sector, renewables, and energy efficiency.

    The Ministry of Oil and Environment regulates the oil and gas sector.

    The Supreme Council for Environment oversees sustainable development and climate change related issues.

  • Energy Companies

    Oil:

    Saudi Aramco is the main producer with the Abu Sa'fah offshore field that is shared between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia (50/50), where it produces around 135 kb/d (2024). Around 80% of the field's total recoverable reserves have been recovered (2022).

  • Energy Supply & Demand

    Resources:

    The country's proven oil reserves are estimated at 23 Mt (end 2023) and the gas reserves at 68 bcm (end of 2023). The gas reserves dropped significantly in 2020 as the Energy Ministry announced that the Khalij al-Bahrein unconventional basin was deemed uneconomic.

  • Energy Use and Price by Sector

    Energy Prices in Residential:

    Tariffs for domestic and small consumers (below 5 000 kWh/year) have not been modified: BHD0.3c/kWh (US$0.8c/kWh) for consumption below 3 000 kWh/year, BHD0.9c/kWh (US$2.4c/kWh) between 3 001 kWh and 5 000 kWh/year, and BHD1.6c/kWh (US$4.3c/kWh) above 5 000 kWh/year.

  • Issues & Prospects

    Electricity:

    Bahrain's electricity and water master plan projects that peak demand in summer will almost double from 3.4 GW in 2016 to 6.5 GW in 2030.

  • 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.

The Bahrain energy market data since 1990 and up to is included in the Excel file accompanying the Bahrain 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.
