Algeria energy report

• Institutions & Energy Policy

  The Ministry of Energy 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 and gas ...

• Energy Companies
  
  Oil:

  Sonatrach is thenational company for exploration, production and marketing of oil and natural gas. It is the largest oil and gas company in Africa.

• Energy Supply
  
  Resources:

  Algeria has large proved crude oil and natural gas reserves (12.2 Gbl of oil and 2 745 bcm of gas, respectively, end of 2019). Its main gas field is Hassi R'Mel (among the world's largest with estimated recoverable reserves of around 2 500 bcm).

  In addition, Algeria's shale gas resources are estimated at 20 000 bcm (mainly located in the Mouydir, Ahnet, Berkine-Ghadames, ...

• Energy Prices
  
  Electricity:

  The price of electricity for households is US$3.7c/kWh and for industry US$3.5c/kWh (2019). After decreasing between 2008 and 2015 for industry and 2016 for households, prices have been increased until 2018 (doubling for industry and +30% for households in national currency).

• Energy Consumption

  Compared to other developing countries with a similar development level, Algeria's consumption is high (1.3 toe per capita), partly because of consumption and losses in the energy sector (mainly in oil and gas production and in LNG plants). Electricity consumption per capita reaches 1 600 kWh (2019).

  Total energy consumption has been increasing almost twice less rapidly since 2015 ...
