  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    The Ministry of Mines, Energy, and Water is responsible for energy policy, general organisation of the sector, the study and implementation of hydroelectric projects and regulation of the energy sector.

    The Ministry of Economy and Finance supervises the National Office of Oil Products (ONAP).

  • Energy Companies

    Electricity:

    Énergie du Mali (EDM) (100% state-owned) is the national power utility. The financial situation of EDM has been undermined by high generation costs as well as high technical and commercial losses, overdrawing the national budget in the range of US$ 100-150m/year in recent years.

  • Energy Supply

    Oil:

    The country does not have domestic crude oil production or a refinery.

    Mali's consumption of fuel products is entirely met through imports, mainly from Senegal (63% in 2019) and Côte d'Ivoire (21%). Oil product imports have tripled since 2010, reaching 2.1 Mt in 2022.

  • Energy Prices

    Oil:

    Oil product prices are regulated, but not subsidised. They are revised on a monthly basis according to international prices, although the variations in international oil prices are not entirely reflected in motor fuel prices. A floating Tax on Petroleum Product Imports (TIPP) applies.

  • Energy Consumption

    Energy consumption per capita is low, at about 0.3 toe/capita in 2022, compared to the average for Sub-Saharan Africa (0.6 toe/capita), including 130 kWh of electricity (2022).

  • Issues & Prospects

    Oil:

    Petroma, a Malian operator, is exploring for natural hydrogen in Block 26, in the Koulikoro region, in Western Mali. The company operates a pilot project in Bourakébougou, producing electricity from natural hydrogen.
