Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The Ministry of Petroleum, Gas, and Mines and the Ministry of Energy and Hydraulic Resources share responsibility for the energy sector.
Energy Companies
Gas:
Perenco dominates natural gas production (average gross production of 50 mcf/d or 0.5 bcm/year) through 5 fields: Ganga, Ozangue, M'Bya, Breme, and Batanga. It supplies the Owendo (Libreville port) and Port-Gentil power stations through a 450 km pipeline.
Energy Supply
Gas:
Since the commissioning of a gas pipeline connecting the field of Diga to the power plants of Port-Gentil and Akournam in 2008, gas has been used for electricity production. Delivered volumes are about 0.4 bcm. Around half of the gross gas production is flared and 1/4 reinjected. Before 2008, nearly all of the gas production was burnt or reinjected.
Energy Prices
Electricity:
Electricity prices are stable for households around US$c 20/kWh (19.3 in 2020). They fell in 2015 to US$c 18/kWh due to deflation (-0.3%).
Energy Consumption
Primary energy consumption per capita is around 2.3 toe, including 1 005 kWh of electricity (2020).

Issues & Prospects
Electricity:
Faced with a planned electricity demand growth of about 6-8%/year, the country aims to reach a power capacity of 1 200 MW in 2022-23. The share of oil and gas will be reduced to 20%, while the share of hydropower will reach 80%. Plans will include new power plants, as well as extension projects.
