Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The energy sector is under the responsibility of the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME). UPME (Mining and Energy Planning Unit) is a special administrative unit of MME in charge of coordinating the planning of the sector.
Energy Supply
Oil:
Oil production increased by 2.5% in 2019 to 46 Mt after decreasing from 52 Mt in 2015 to 44 Mt in 2018. Between 2007 and 2011, it rose at the very rapid pace of 15%/year thanks to greater investments in the sector.
The total capacity of oil pipelines reaches 1.2 mb/d (2017).
Energy Prices
Electricity:
The prices of electricity vary according to the regions. In 2019, they reached US$15c/kWh for the industrial sector and US$15.7c/kWh for households. Prices have followed inflation in recent years.

Energy Consumption
Per capita consumption is around 0.81 toe and 1 300 kWh of electricity (2019).
Total energy consumption has remained roughly stable around 39-40 Mtoe since 2015 (40 Mtoe in 2019).

Issues & Prospects
According to the National Energy Plan through 2050, energy demand will increase by around 60% by 2050, with electricity and gas consumption increasing faster than oil consumption. Most of the electricity consumption rise will be linked to an increasing use of wind and solar technologies.
