Overview

Chad is advancing its energy transition with ambitious 2030 targets, including 30% renewable electricity capacity and expanded oil production. Key reforms modernise the sector, while solar and rural electrification projects aim to boost access—currently low at 12% nationwide. Economic diversification and foreign investment underpin long-term growth plans.

Highlights

  • Chad has a set a 2030 target of 30% renewable capacity for its power mix and to reach 250 kbl/d in crude oil production.
  • STE replaces SNE, due to years of crisis and inefficiency in the electricity sector.
  • 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. After several years of increase, oil production fell by 8% in 2024.
  • Biomass accounts for 75% of total energy consumption.
  • Fuel prices and power tariffs are set by the government.
  • The government has decided in March 2024 to cover electricity and water costs until the end of year, and to reduce taxes by 50%.
  • A power interconnection is planned between Chad and Cameroon.
  • Almost 35 MW of solar projects are currently under construction.

  • Energy & Climate Policy Framework

    The Ministry of Petroleum, Mines, and Geology 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:

    CNPC, China National Petroleum Corporation, together with Cliveden (Switzerland), operates 4 oil fields with an output of 103 kb/d in 2023 (68% of total production).

  • Energy Supply & Demand

    Oil:

    Oil production fell by 9% in 2024 to 6.8 Mt, after increasing by has increased by around 6%/year since 2021, reaching 7.4 Mt in 2023, its highest level in fifteen years. This upward trend follows several years of fluctuation, with production oscillating between 6.5 Mt and 6.9 Mt from 2018 to 2021. Production started in 2003.

  • Energy Use and Price by Sector

    Energy Prices in Residential:

    After a peak at USD19.3c/kWh, prices declined by a quarter in dollars to USD14.5c/kWh.

    The government decided in March 2024 to cover electricity and water costs until the end of year, and to reduce taxes by 50%.

  • 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.
