Angola Total Energy Consumption

Overall per capita energy consumption is around 0.40 toe. Per capita electricity consumption is approximately 330 kWh (2023).

Total energy consumption has increased by 4%/year on average since 2020 to around 14 Mtoe in 2023. It remained stable between 2016 and 2020 and increased by 9.5%/year between 2006 and 2014, driven by the demand from households and services.

Angola Crude Oil Production

Oil production decreased by 4% in 2023 to 55.6 Mt, after a 2 % increase in 2022 and a 38% decrease between 2015 and 2021. 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). Around 63% of total oil production comes from deep water projects, 19% from ultra-deep water, and 17% from shallow waters.

Angola Renewable in % Electricity Production

The new "Angola 2050" strategy set an objective of more than 60% of electricity supply from renewables in 2035.

The new National Development Plan (PND) 2023-2027 seems less ambitious than the previous one and does not specify overall targets. It just sets targets for the construction and renovation of solar and hydroelectric power plants.

The "Angola 2025" strategy (2016) targets of solar, wind and biomass by 2025 (360 MW end of 2023, mostly solar).

Angola CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions

In its updated NDC (2021), Angola set a target to reduce its GHG emissions by up to 15% in 2025 and 21% in 2030 as compared to a BAU scenario. Under a conditional mitigation scenario, the country could further reduce its emissions by 25% and 36% in 2025 and 2030, respectively. Identified mitigation actions focus mainly on the development of renewables for electricity generation and on reducing gas flaring. Angola ratified the Paris Agreement in 2020.
