Total Energy Consumption

Energy consumption per inhabitant was around 0.45 toe in 2021 (+11% since 2010), which is higher than in Senegal (0.31 toe) and Ghana (0.38 toe), but lower than in Nigeria (0.78 toe). Per capita electricity consumption has increased by 58% since 2010 to 331 kWh in 2021, which is higher than in Nigeria (145 kWh) and Senegal (286 kWh), but much lower than in Ghana (569 kWh).

Total energy consumption rose by an average of 5%/year since 2019 to 12 Mtoe in 2021. It declined by 0.5%/year between 2015 and 2018 and grew by almost 7%/year between 2011 and 2014.

Crude Oil Production

Since 2019, oil output has declined by 18%/year on average to 1.2 Mt in 2022, because of the natural depletion of fields and shutdowns on Block CI-26 (Espoir). Most of the country's oil is now extracted from Block CI-40 (Baobab), accounting for about three quarters of the total.

Previously, output rebounded by 8% to 1.8 Mt in 2019, after a 17% decline in 2018. Over 2014-2017, production rose by an average of 29%/year.

Renewable in % Electricity Production

According to its updated NDC (2021), the country seeks to reach a 45% share of renewables in the electricity mix (23% in 2020, all from hydro).

There are currently no feed-in tariffs. The power purchase agreements are signed between the government and the promoter after a call for tenders or detailed feasibility studies under an MoU.

CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions

In its updated NDC (2022), the GHG emission reduction target was raised from 28% to 30% in 2030 compared to a BAU scenario. The objective corresponds to a reduction of around 37 MtCO2eq in 2030 (compared to 9 MtCO2eq in the first NDC). Reduction efforts will focus on reforestation, phasing-out coal generation, and improving energy efficiency in buildings. With international support, the country could cut its GHG emissions in 2030 by 99% of the BAU scenario, almost reaching carbon neutrality. This unconditional objective would reduce GHG emissions by around 120 MtCO2eq.
