Total Energy Consumption
Overall per capita energy consumption is around 0.4 toe. Per capita electricity consumption is approximately 420 kWh (2021).
Total energy consumption increased by 8% in 2021 to around 14 Mtoe. After a peak in 2014 (17 Mtoe), it fluctuated between 2015 and 2020 at around 13-15 Mtoe, depending on the economic situation of the country. Previously, it had increased by 9.5%/year between 2006 and 2014, driven by the demand from households and services.

Crude Oil Production
Oil production has decreased by 39% since 2015, from 89.5 Mt to 54.3 Mt in 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. Despite the global economic recovery in 2021, oil production decreased because of the natural decline of the fields, some mechanical problems, and the suspension of drilling activities in 2020 due to the State of emergency imposed by the COVID-19.

Renewable in % Electricity Production
The National Development Plan (PND) 2018-2022 set the target to add 500 MW of renewables (of which 200 MW solar, 100 MW wind, 100 MW biomass, and 100 MW mini-hydro) by 2022. At end-2021, only 13 MW of solar and 51 MW of biomass were operational and even the commissioning of two solar plants in Benguela (280 MW) should not be sufficient to achieve the global objective. A new PDN 2023-2027 is under development.
The "Angola 2025" strategy targets 800 MW by 2025.

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.
