  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    The Ministry of Hydrocarbons and Energies supervises the energy policy and the development of the energy sector in the country through five vice ministries: Hydrocarbon Exploration and Exploitation (hydrocarbon exploitation), Industrialisation, Transport, and Storage of Hydrocarbons (export, trade, storage, and transportation of oil and gas), Energy Planning and Development (hydrocarbon develop

  • Energy Supply

    Resources:

    Natural gas reserves stood at around 183 bcm and oil reserves at 33 Mt (end of 2021). The country has a significant hydroelectric potential (50 TWh economically exploitable), of which only 6.5% is being exploited.

  • Energy Prices

    Gas:

    The price paid by final consumers for natural gas is fixed by ministerial decree. It is re-examined periodically according to the currency values. In 2017, the ANH resolution n° ULGR 0331/2017 determined the maximum prices for natural gas to be sold in the national market. The maximum prices range from US$1.84-2.11/cf (US$66-89/1,000cm) depending on the consumer category.

  • Energy Consumption

    Per capita energy consumption stood at 0.8 toe in 2021 (including 790 kWh of electricity), 37% below the average for Latin America.

    Total energy consumption returned to its pre-COVID level in 2021, with very rapid growth of 19%, reaching 9.3 Mtoe. It increased rapidly between 2010 and 2019 (4%/year).

  • Issues & Prospects

    Electricity:

    The country seeks to reach 4.1 GW of capacity by 2025 according to PDES 2021-2025 and 13.4 GW by 2030 according to its second NDC. It is also aiming to cover 9% of the total projected capacity for 2030 from alternative energies (around 1.2 GW).
