Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The Ministry of 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
Oil:
About 30% of the supply is provided by 3 subsidiaries of multinational companies (Total - with over 60 service stations, Exxon-Mobil and Shell) that are gathered in the GPP ("Groupement des Professionnels du Pétrole"). Malian companies supply the rest of the market and are gathered in GMPP ("Groupement Malien des Professionnels du Pétrole").
Energy Supply
Resources:
Mali has no proven fossil fuel reserves and is entirely dependent on imports. The hydroelectric potential of the country is estimated at 1 150 MW. Forests cover 300 000 km2, 33 000 km2 of which are listed (25% of the surface area of Mali).
Energy Prices
Oil:
Oil product prices have been controlled since 2001 because of hikes in international prices. 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 0.28 toe/capita, including 160 kWh of electricity (2019).
Energy consumption is still dominated by biomass, which represented 65% of the total energy consumption in 2019 despite a declining share (73% in 2010). It is followed by oil with 32% and hydroelectricity and power imports with 2%.
Issues & Prospects
Oil:
Several companies are active in the oil exploration sector, and especially in the Taoudenni basin, the most promising basin in Mali: Sipex (subsidiary of Sonatrach); a joint venture between Afex Global and Glencore; and a joint venture between Heritage Oil and Mali Oil Development.
