Total Energy Consumption
Per capita consumption is 4.7 toe, with electricity accounting for around 2 600 kWh in 2020.
Total energy consumption increased rapidly from 2000 to 2015 (4%/year, on average) and has remained stable until 2018; after a progression of 4% in 2019, it dipped by 2% in 2020 to 28 Mtoe. Natural gas represents 77% of that consumption and oil 23%.
