Overview
This analysis includes a comprehensive Qatar energy market report and updated datasets. It is derived from the most recent key economic indicators, supply and demand factors, oil and gas pricing trends and major energy issues and developments surrounding the energy industry. The report provides a complete picture of the country situation, dynamics, current issues and future prospects. With market data and continuous follow-up of markets news, this report brings clear and concise insights with which to tackle national energy challenges and opportunities. Browse the tabs below for a detailed table of contents, the list of graphs and tables, and details on the data files.
Highlights
- The country targets 18% of renewables in the power mix by 2030.
- The hydrocarbon sector accounts for 40% of the GDP and almost 85% of total exports.
- Nebras Energy dominates power generation with 86% of the capacity.
- Qatar Energy, the national oil and gas company, is the unique LNG producer through its subsidiary QE LNG.
- Qatar is the third largest LNG producer in the world.
- Almost all of Qatar's energy exports transit through the Strait of Hormuz, so the effective closure of the strait in March 2026 severely affected the country.
- Industry accounts for 60% of finale energy consumption in 2025.
- Energy prices are stable since 2020.
- The new North Field Expansion project aims to raise its LNG production capacity by almost 85% to 142 Mt/year by 2030.
- The country targets 4 GW of solar power by 2030.
Energy & Climate Policy Framework
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
Gas:
QatarEnergy LNG (QE LNG) operates 7 LNG plants with 14 liquefaction trains and a total capacity of 77 Mt/year (106 bcm/year). In 2018, the government merged the two state-owned LNG producers Qatargas and Rasgas into Qatargas. The 7 LNG plants are Qatargas I, Qatargas II, Qatargas III, Qatargas IV, Ras Laffan I, Ras Laffan II, and Ras Laffan III.
Energy Supply & Demand
Gas:
Gas production and consumption have remained roughly stable since 2013 (188 bcm and 61 bcm in 2025, respectively), after a rapid increase between 2005 and 2015 (14%/year each). Most of the production comes from the large offshore North Field.
Energy Use and Price by Sector
Energy Prices in Industry:
Significant subsidy cuts took place in 2017, leading to increases in electricity tariffs, especially for industry; prices were almost 77% higher for industry in 2025 than in 2016 (3.6 USDc/kWh). Prices have remained constant since 2017.

Issues & Prospects
Electricity:
About 5.5 GW are under construction as of June 2026, exclusively from gas and 2 GW of solar are under development.
