Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The Ministry of Water and Energy is in charge of the design and implementation of the national energy policy.
Energy Companies
Gas:
Victoria Oil & Gas, through its subsidiary Gaz du Cameroun (GDC), is developing the Logbaba field, which started producing in 2012. It also owns and operates the Logbaba gas processing plant. With an investment of US$110m, Victoria now holds the totality of the project and a production licence of 25 years.
Energy Supply
Gas:
Gas production doubled in 2018 to 1.3 bcm thanks to the start-up of LNG production. Previously, it had grown very rapidly, 18%/year since 2011, with the start-up of production at the Logbaba field (reserves estimated at 6 bcm of gas and 2.8 Mbl of condensate).
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 255 kWh is electricity (2018).
Total energy consumption grew very rapidly between 2013 and 2016 (11%/year) to each 9.3 Mtoe and has remained stable since then.
Issues & Prospects
Electricity:
According to the long-term electricity sector development plan (PDSE-2035), electricity demand is expected to reach between24.4 TWh (median growth scenario) and 33.4 TWh (high growth scenario) in 2035, mainly driven by a rapid growth in industry (7-9%/year).

In the Cameroon energy market report you will find the following tables:
- 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 Cameroon energy market data since 1990 and up to 2018 is included in the Excel file accompanying the Cameroon 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.
- Energy Balance: total and per energy.
- Cameroon Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Cameroon energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO2 emissions (from fuel combustion).
The Cameroon country report is complemented with a national power generation dashboard (excel file) from our Power Plant Tracker Service.
Data included in the excelsheet:
- New capacities: Current power mix, installed capacity at date, capacity under construction and under development.
- Power Sector Performances: Historical data on installed capacity, power generation, thermal power plants inputs, average thermal power plant efficiency, CO2 emissions of the power sector, carbon factor of the power sector.
