Highlights
- Oil represents about half of the country's GDP and almost all exportation income.
- A new code for hydrocarbons was adopted in 2015. Gas flaring is now prohibited.
- Total and Eni are the leading producers of oil and natural gas, respectively.
- Energie Electrique du Congo (E2C) is the national electricity company.
- After a decline related to the maturity of some fields, oil production increased again in 2018 due to drilling at new oil fields.
- The installed power capacity has nearly quadrupled since 2010.
- Final energy consumption has remained rather stable over the last five years.
- Several dams are planned, including the very controversial Sounda Gorge project (600 MW).

Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
Congo is located in Sub-Saharan Africa, and is bordered by Gabon, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Its capital city is called Brazzaville. Its main resources are hydrocarbons, wood, and minerals.
Energy Companies
Electricity:
Energie Electrique du Congo (E2C) took over the activities of SNE in 2018, following its dissolution.
Energy Supply
Oil:
Oil production increased slightly to 17.2 Mt in 2019 (+1.8%) after the 21% rise in 2018 due to the commissioning of several new fields (Moho Nord deep offshore, Lianzi, and Nené Marine). Nevertheless, it dropped by 10% in 2020 due to the covid crisis (15.4 Mt in 2020).
Energy Consumption
In 2019, total energy consumption per inhabitant was around 0.6 toe (0.2 toe without biomass), in line with the Sub-Saharan Africa average, including 290 kWh of electricity (around 20% below the regional average).

Issues & Prospects
Oil:
Congo aims to raise its crude oil production as follows: 247 kb/d in 2021, 301 kb/d in 2022, and 342 kb/d in 2023.
