Mali energy report

• 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

  Electricity:

  EDM-SA (State 66%, IPS-Industrial Promotion Services 34%) is the national electricity company. It was created following the privatisation of EDM (Energie du Mali) in 2000. Initially the State had kept just 40%, with Bouygues (39%) and IPS (21%) holding the remainder, but following disputes with the State, Bouygues pulled out of the company in 2005.

• Energy Supply

  Oil:

  All the oil products consumed in the country are imported, mainly from Senegal, Ivory Coast, and Niger.

• Energy Prices

  Electricity:

  Prices are subsidised for all categories of consumers (average price of FCFA 96.5/kWh (US$16.5c/kWh) and subsidy of FCFA 31.6/kWh (US$5.4c/kWh)) to cover the average cost of FCFA 128/kWh (US$22c/kWh) in 2017. The amount of subsidies was estimated in 2015 at FCFA 42bn (US$71m), of which 41% for the social tariff, 27% for the normal tariff and 32% for the medium voltage (industry).

• Energy Consumption

  Energy consumption per capita is low, at about 0.27 toe/capita, including 180 kWh of electricity (2018).

  In 2018, energy consumption was dominated by biomass, which represented 66% of the total energy consumption, followed by oil with 30% and hydroelectricity and power imports with 4%.

• 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.

In the Mali energy market report you will find the following tables:

• Economic Indicators: Annual historical data including population, GDP growth, imports and exports, inflation rate, energy security and efficiency indicators, CO₂ emissions.
• Supply Indicators: Historical data including oil and gas reserves, electric and refining capacity, energy production, power production and external trade. All are detailed by energy source
• Demand Indicators: Historical data including consumption per inhabitant, consumption trends, total consumption by energy source, final consumption by energy source and sector, and electricity consumption by sector.
• Energy Balances: Single table displaying the overall energy industry balance per annum, also graphically displayed by energy sub-segment.

The Mali energy market data since 1990 and up to 2018 is included in the Excel file accompanying the Mali country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.

Key Data included in the excelsheet:

• Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO₂ emissions.
• Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
• Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
• Energy Balance: total and per energy.
• Mali Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Mali energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO₂ emissions (from fuel combustion).
