  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    Qatar is a small country located on the north-eastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It is bordered by Saudi Arabia in the south and by the Persian Gulf and is separated from the island of Bahrain by a strait. Qatar has large natural gas reserves, which have transformed the country into a high-income economy. Qatar is a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).

  • Energy Companies

    Oil:

    Qatar Energy (QE, previously, Qatar Petroleum) is the national company in charge of the development of the oil and gas sector. In 2021, it has changed its name to bring forth its strategy to switch towards energy efficiency and technologies such as CCS. Upstream to downstream activities are wholly managed by QE and its subsidiaries.

  • Energy Supply

    Gas:

    Gas production has remained stable since 2013 (181 bcm), after a rapid increase between 2005 and 2015 (14%/year). Most of the production comes from the large offshore North Field.

  • Energy Prices

    Electricity:

    Significant subsidy cuts took place in 2017, leading to increases in electricity tariffs, especially for industry; prices were almost 56% higher for industry in 2023 than in 2015 (US$3.6c/kWh) and 60% higher for households compared to 2015 (US$3.6c/kWh). Prices have remained constant for both industry and residential since 2017.

  • Energy Consumption

    The country's total energy consumption per capita is very high at around 19 toe (2nd highest in the world), including 17.5 MWh of electricity (4th highest).

    Total energy consumption has been growing by 3%/year on average since 2013, reaching around 52 Mtoe in 2023. It grew very rapidly between 2000 and 2013 (8%/year).
