Mali Energy Information

Total Energy Consumption

Energy consumption per capita is low, at about 0.28 toe/capita, including 160 kWh of electricity (2019).

Energy consumption is still dominated by biomass, which represented 65% of the total energy consumption in 2019 despite a declining share (73% in 2010). It is followed by oil with 32% and hydroelectricity and power imports with 2%.

Renewable in % Electricity Production

AER ("Agence des Energies Renouvelables") is the national agency in charge of renewables.

ANADEB, National Agency for the Development of Biofuels, coordinates the policies and actions for the promotion of biofuels.

The National Action Plan for Renewable Energies PANER (2015-2030) aims to raise the share of grid-connected renewables in the installed capacity to 58% by 2030, with 1416 MW of renewables (including medium and large hydropower and 528 MW of solar).

CO₂ Fuel Combustion/CO₂ Emissions

In 2016, Mali ratified its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). Its unconditional target is to reduce its GHG emissions compared to a BAU scenario by 13 MtCO₂eq in 2030 (national financing of US$5.2bn). The conditional target - if the country receives nearly US$30bn in financing by 2030 - is to reduce these emissions by around 85 MtCO₂eq i.e. 27% (-29% for agriculture, -31% for energy, and -21% for LULUCF).

Since 2005, energy-related CO₂ emissions have more than tripled (~10%/year) to 6 Mt in 2019.
