  • 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: Exploration and Exploitation of Energy Resources (development of exploratory projects oil and gas projects), Industrialisation, Marketing, Transport, and Storage of Hydrocarbons (export, trade, storage, and transportation of oil and gas), E

  • Energy Companies

    Gas:

    Repsol contributes around a third of production. In 2015, the company achieved a record production from the Margarita-Huacaya project (37.5% Repsol) with 19 mcm/d. In 2022, production started in the newly discovered MGR-10 well (Margarita-Huacaya) and reached 2 mcm/d. Potential reserves are estimated at around 10 bcm. Repsol holds an operating agreement for the field until 2046.

  • Energy Supply

    Gas:

    The production of natural gas has been on a consistent decline of around 6% per year since 2014, reaching 11.6 bcm in 2024. It grew rapidly between 2000 and 2014, increasing from 3.3 bcm to 22.4 bcm.

  • Energy Prices

    Oil:

    Since 2000, the Government has been controlling diesel prices in order to limit the impact of the large fluctuations of international exchange rates.

    Since 2017, the prices of gasoline and diesel have remained stable at around US$0.62/l and US$0.54/l, respectively.

  • Energy Consumption

    Per capita energy consumption stood at 0.82 toe in 2024 (including 846 kWh of electricity), 26% below the Latin America average (65% below for electricity).

    Total energy consumption has increased rapidly since 2020 (7%/year), reaching 10.1 Mtoe in 20242. It grew rapidly between 2010 and 2019 (4%/year).

  • Issues & Prospects

    Gas:

    In 2020, only 29% of the population had access to gas. The PDES 2021-2025 set a target of 39% coverage by 2025.
