Angola Energy Information

Total Energy Consumption

Overall per capita energy consumption is around 0.5 toe. Per capita electricity consumption is approximately 322 kWh (2018).

Total energy consumption has been decreasing since a peak in 2014 (17.4 Mtoe) because of the recession to 15 Mtoe in 2018 (-15% compared to 2014). Before, it increased by 10%/year between 2006 and 2014, driven by the demand from households and services.

Crude Oil Production

Oil production has decreased by 17% since 2015 (of which 8.5% in 2018), from 89.5 Mt to 74 Mt in 2018. It increased very rapidly as from 2000, reaching its peak level of 96 Mt in 2008 (multiplied by a factor of 2.6) and fluctuated around 80-90 Mt until 2015.

Offshore blocks are divided into three bands: shallow water blocks 0-13 (band A), deepwater blocks 14-30 (band B), and ultra-Deepwater blocks 31-40 (band C). Four blocks contributed 3/4 of the total production in 2018: Block 17 (36%), Blocks 0 and 15 (16% each), and Block 15/06 (9%).

CO₂ Fuel Combustion/CO₂ Emissions

In 2015, Angola submitted its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) with the commitment to reduce its GHG emissions by up to 35% by 2030 as compared to a BAU scenario. Under a conditional mitigation scenario, the country could further reduce its emissions trajectory by 50% below the BAU scenario. Identified mitigation actions focus mainly on the development of renewables for electricity generation and on reforestation. Angola has not yet ratified the Paris Agreement.
