Highlights

  • Chad's oil revenues exceeded $1.7bn in 2023, for the second consecutive year, a 70% increase compared to the 2017-2021 average.
  • Only half of the installed power capacity is currently operational.
  • Petronas and ExxonMobil have completed the sale of their interests in Chad's oil production activities.
  • Around 60% of the power capacity is used to supply oil fields and the refinery.
  • Following a phase of steady output, oil production has increased by 6%/year since 2021.
  • Fuel prices and power tariffs are set by the government.
  • Chad has one of the lowest energy consumption per capita in the world.
  • Biomass accounts for 75% of total energy consumption.
  • A power interconnection is planned between Chad and Cameroon.
  • Almost 140 MW of solar projects are currently under construction.

  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    The Ministry of Petroleum and Energy is responsible for the energy sector and coordinates the country's energy policy.

    Chad is a member of the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC). The country joined the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) in 2010.

  • Energy Companies

    Oil:

    The state-owned national oil and gas company Société des Hydrocarbures du Tchad (SHT) was created in 2006 to implement the country's industrial and commercial policy for hydrocarbon resources. It has stakes in all consortiums.

  • Energy Supply

    Resources:

    The country has oil and gas reserves: 204 Mt of crude oil and 1 bcm of natural gas. It also has an important solar potential (sunshine duration of 2 900-3 900 hours/year) and substantial wind resources (wind speed of 2 m/s to more than 7 m/s).

    The country's forest area declined from 5.5 M hectares in 2010 to 4.3 M hectares in 2020 (-22%).

  • Energy Prices

    Oil:

    The prices of motor fuels are set by the government and tend to follow international oil prices. In 2023, gasoline and diesel prices stood at US$0.84/l and US$1.06/l, respectively. Gasoline prices in Chad are around 20% lower than in Cameroon (2022), but diesel prices are similar.

  • Energy Consumption

    The energy consumption per capita in 2023 was around 0.15 toe/cap (4 times lower than the average for Sub-Saharan Africa). The electricity consumption per capita in 2023 was 15 kWh/cap, which is 22 times lower than the average for Sub-Saharan Africa.

    Total energy consumption is increasing regularly at a slow pace (+2%/year since 2010).

  • Issues & Prospects

    Gas:

    Chad and several central African countries (Angola, Cameroon, Congo, Congo (DRC), Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon) have agreed to build three gas pipelines measuring about 6,500 km by 2030, as well as storage depots, liquefied natural gas terminals, at least three refineries, and gas-fired power plants. The countries signed an MoU, which paves the way for feasibility studies.
