Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The Ministry of Water and Energy (MINEE) is in charge of the design and implementation of the national energy policy.
Energy Companies
Oil:
SNH (Société Nationale des Hydrocarbures) represents the State in the mixed oil companies: Sonara (Société Nationale de Raffinage) and SCDP (Société Camerounaise de Dépôts Pétroliers). It also directly operates the Mvia oil field since 2009. In 1999, SNH created a subsidiary company, Tradex, responsible for the export of crude oil and petroleum products.
Energy Supply
Oil:
Oil production remained stable in 2020 (3.7 Mt), after a 25% fall between 2016 and 2018. It had increased by 12%/year between 2011 and 2015 with the start of production of the Bojongo field and the growing production of the Inter-Inoua Barombi, Barombi Northeast and Padouk fields, operated by SNH. Oil production is still far below its 1984 peak level of 8.8 Mt.
Energy Prices
Oil:
The prices of oil products in Cameroon are slightly higher than the regional average.
Energy Consumption
Total energy consumption per capita is 0.4 toe, of which 245 kWh is electricity (2020).
Total energy consumption has increased slightly, by 2%/year since 2016, to reach 10 Mtoe in 2020, after very rapid growth between 2013 and 2015 (+33%).
Issues & Prospects
Gas:
The development of LPG produced from natural gas should limit deforestation in the short term and enable LPG exports to Europe in the long term.
