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
Resources:
The country has oil and gas reserves: 200 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
Electricity:
Electricity tariffs vary depending on voltage and the amount of electricity consumed from XAF83/kWh (US$15c/kWh) to XAF211/kWh (US$37c/kWh). In 2017, the average electricity price reached XAF139/kWh (US$25c/kWh).
Energy Consumption
The energy consumption per capita in 2019 was around 0.15 toe/cap (3.7 times lower than the average for Sub-Saharan Africa). The electricity consumption per capita in 2019 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 (+1%/year since 2012).
Issues & Prospects
Electricity:
According to the World Bank, electricity demand is projected to increase by 17%/year to about 1.1 TWh by 2030 (i.e., 5.5 times higher than in 2019). The country's NDC foresees the installation of a 210 MW gas-fired power plant in N'Gouri, two 15 MW biomass-fired power plants, a capacity of 465 MW of solar, 120 MW of solar-diesel projects, and 100 MW of wind.
