Albania Total Energy Production & Consumption
Consumption per capita is much lower than the EU average, at approximately 0.8 toe (72% below the EU average), including 2 500 kWh of electricity (53% below the EU average) (2023).
Total energy consumption has been declining overall by an average of 1.6%/year since 2017 to 2.1 Mtoe in 2023. It had increased at a rapid pace between 1995 and 2005 (+5%/year) and at a slower pace (+1%/year) until 2017.

Albania GHG emissions and CO2 emissions
Albania's revised NECP (2024) aims to limit net GHG emissions to 10.2 MtCO2eq in 2030, which will require additional measures. (With existing measures, emissions could exceed 11.7 MtCO2eq.) This is in line with the first NECP but more ambitious than the updated NDC (2021), which aimed to reduce GHG emissions to 12 MtCO2eq by 2030 (-20.9% compared to a BAU scenario).
