Algeria energy report

• Institutions & Energy Policy

  The Ministry of Energy and Mines is responsible for the energy policy and supervises the public energy companies.

  The Hydrocarbon Regulatory Authority regulates the national oil products market by fixing prices.

  The Electricity and Gas Regulatory Committee (CREG) has regulated the electricity and gas markets since 2005. It is responsible for the transparency of the electricity ...

• Energy Companies
  
  Electricity:

  Sonelgaz Spa istheformerpublic monopoly in charge of the production and transmission of electricity, and of the distribution of electricity and gas. The company has been organised since early 2017 through 16 subsidiaries and 7 direct stakeholder companies that cover the whole supply chain from production and transport to distribution of electricity and natural gas. The company has been ...

• Energy Supply
  
  Resources:

  Algeria has large proved crude oil and natural gas reserves (1 660 Mt of oil and 4 500 bcm of gas, respectively, in end-2015) and abundant hydrocarbon resources that are already connected to world markets through an extensive natural gas pipeline network. Its main gas field is Hassi R'Mel (among the world's largest with estimated recoverable reserves of around 2 500 bcm). Reserves ...

• Energy Prices
  
  Electricity:

  The price of electricity for households is US$3.1c/kWh and for industry US$2.6c/kWh (in 2016). Prices decreased between 2008 and 2015. However, CREG increased the industrial electricity tariff by 20% on 1 January 2016; prices for residential consumers have also increased as 15% and 31% increases are applied to customers of the third tranche (1 000-4 000 kWh/year) and the fourth tranche ...

• Energy Consumption

  Compared to other developing countries with a similar development level, Algeria's consumption is high (1.4 toe per capita), partly because of consumption and losses in the energy sector (mainly in LNG plants). Electricity consumption per capita reaches 1 500 kWh (2016).

  Total energy consumption is increasing rapidly (5 %/year since 2000).

• Issues & Prospects
  
  

  Algeria aims to increase crude oil production by 30% by 2020 (to 85 Mt of oil production in 2020), seeking to make up for declining revenues from oil sales. In the framework of its development plan 2014-2018, Sonatrach is investing US$102bn; US$42bn are dedicated to the development of oil and gas deposits, including US$22bn for gas development. Those investments very recently improved oil ...
