Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demographical Challenge (MITECO) coordinates the energy policy through the State Secretariat for Energy. It also covers the environmental and climate policy. An Inter-Ministerial Commission on Climate Change and Ecological Transition attached to MITECO was created in 2018 to coordinate decision-making related to climate change and energy.
Energy Companies
Oil:
Repsol is the national oil company (BlackRock 5.3%, Amundi 3.2%). In 2019, Repsol committed to reduce its carbon intensity by 15% in 2025 (compared to 2016), by 20% in 2030, and by 40% in 2040, until reaching net zero CO2 emissions in 2050. The group will focus on gas production and will seek to boost biofuel production and green hydrogen production.
Energy Supply
Oil:
Oil production is very low (below 10 kt in 2021). Crude oil imports increased by 2.7%/year from 2010 to 2018 and fell by 15% in 2020, before increasing again by 4% in 2021 to 61 Mt. The main suppliers of crude in 2021 were Nigeria (18%), Mexico (14%), and Kazakhstan (7%).
Energy Prices
Electricity:
The average day-ahead price on the wholesale market has surged since 2020 (€34/MWh) in a context of higher gas and CO2 prices, to €112/MWh in 2021 and €168/MWh in 2022 (+50%).
Energy Consumption
In 2021, total consumption per capita was 2.4 toe (21% lower than the EU average), including 4 960 kWh of electricity (14% below the EU average).

Issues & Prospects
According to the baseline scenario presented in the NECP, primary energy consumption would increase marginally (+0.2%/year) between 2015 and 2030, reaching 127 Mtoe in 2030, while final energy consumption would grow slightly faster, by 0.6%/year, to 93 Mtoe in 2030.
