Overview
This analysis includes a comprehensive Venezuela 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 has been facing a severe economic and political crisis since 2013.
- The energy sector is controlled by the Government; Corpoelec is responsible for power generation and PDVSA for the oil and gas sector.
- Venezuela holds the largest proven oil reserves in the world. However, their development is limited due to the economic situation.
A significant part of the power capacity is not operational. Around half of this capacity is from hydro. - Energy prices are controlled by the Government.
Gasoline and diesel are among the lowest in the world. - Total energy consumption has rebounded since 2021, after a rapid decrease between 2013 and 2020 (-12%/year on average).
- PDVSA and Rosneft have signed several gas E&P agreements and are committed to five JVs.
Several gas-powered power plants under construction were abandoned because of the crisis.
Institutions & Energy Policy
The Energy and Oil Ministry lays down the country's energy policy and supervises all the energy companies. The Ministry of Electricity supervises the electricity sector. The Planning Ministry (Cordiplan) is involved in the development of the energy plans and the definition of the sector's main priorities.
Energy Companies
Gas:
PDVSA Gas is in charge of the exploration and the exploitation of gas, as well as of the production and sale of LNG on national and international markets.
Energy Supply
Gas:
The natural gas production dropped by 47% from 2016 to 2020, and has since rebounded by 5%/year, reaching 16 bcm in 2023.
Only a quarter of the gas production is marketed; a strong proportion is re-injected (40%). That production is only used to supply the domestic market, with the largest part being used for the production of electricity and in industry.
Energy Prices
Electricity:
Electricity prices are very low and have been controlled by the Government since 2003. In 2016, they were around US$1.9c/kWh for households. They were raised by over 80% in 2014 and 2015, after Corpoelec announced a power subsidy cut for electricity users consuming more than their respective regional average in 2014.
Energy Consumption
Energy consumption per capita (1.3toe, including 2 400 kWh of electricity in 2023) is relatively high compared to the level of income per capita.
Primary energy consumption has rebounded by 10%/year since 2023 to 37 Mtoe, after a decrease at an average rate of 12%/year between 2013 and 2020.
Issues & Prospects
The development of Venezuela's large reserves is blocked by the on-going economic and political crisis.

The Venezuela energy market data since 1990 and up to
is included in the Excel file accompanying the Venezuela 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.
- Venezuela Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Venezuela 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).
