Abstract
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
Oil:
Oil production has increased by 14% since 2018, reaching 6.3 Mt in 2020. This is a 14%, after a 16% drop in 2017. Production started in 2003. Output peaked at 8.7 Mt/year in 2004 and 2005. Crude oil production declined by 50% between 2005 and 2014 to 4.4 Mt due to high water cut, low reservoir pressure, unconsolidated sands, and complex reservoir geometry.
Energy Prices
Oil:
The prices of motor fuels are set by the government and tend to follow international oil prices. In 2021, gasoline and diesel prices stood at US$095/l and US$1.01/l, respectively. At purchasing power parities, gasoline prices in Chad are 20% lower than in Cameroon (2020).

Energy Consumption
The energy consumption per capita in 2020 was around 0.15 toe/cap (3.7 times lower than the average for Sub-Saharan Africa). The electricity consumption per capita in 2020 reached 13 kWh/cap, which is almost 30 times lower than the average for Sub-Saharan Africa.
Total energy consumption is increasing regularly, but at a slow pace (+0.6%/year since 2012).
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 a MoU, which paves the way for feasibility studies.
