Congo energy report

• Institutions & Energy Policy

  Congo is located in Sub-Saharan Africa, and is bordered by Gabon, Cameroon, the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Its capital city is called Brazzaville. Its main resources are hydrocarbons, wood and minerals.

  The Ministry of Mines, Energy and...

• Energy Companies
  
  Oil:

  Total is the country's leading oil producer through its subsidiary, Total E&P Congo, and in 2014 produced almost 50% of the country's total oil production, with around 95 000 bbl/d. Total E&P operates around 10 of the 23 oil fields in the country. In 2013, Qatar Petroleum became a...

• Energy Supply
  
  Resources:

  The country has relatively large reserves of hydrocarbons (218 Mt of oil and 106 bcm of gas end of 2014) and a hydroelectric potential of 2 600 MW. The hydrocarbon reserves are increasing substantially (they have doubled compared to the early 90s).

  About 2/3 of the tropical forest (...

• Energy Consumption

  Energy consumption per inhabitant is 0.5 toe (0.2 toe without biomass), including 190 kWh of electricity (2014).

  Total consumption is distributed between biomass (58%), oil products (29%), gas (9%) and electricity (3%) (2014).

  The commercial energies are essentially consumed in...

• Issues & Prospects
  
  Electricity:

  Following the recent commissioning of large power plants, the country now has enough installed generating capacities to satisfy a large part of the demand. However, the actual grid system cannot supply the population with the electricity produced. The current objective is thus to modernise and...

In the Congo market report you will find follow tables:

• Economic Indicators: Annual historical data including population, GNP growth, imports & exports, inflation rate, energy security and efficiency indicators, CO₂ emissions.
• Supply Indicators: Historical data including oil & gas reserves, electric & refining capacity, energy production, power production and external trade. All detailed by energy source.
• Demand Indicators: Historical data includes consumption per inhabitant, consumption trends, total consumption by energy source, final consumption by energy source & sector, and, electricity consumption by sector.
• Energy Balances: Unique tabular display of the overall energy industry balance per annum, also graphically displayed by energy sub-segment.

The Congo market data since 1990 included in the Excel file is given below.
Historical evolution allows to easily work with the data.

2014 Key Data included in the excelsheet:

• Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO₂ emissions.
• Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
• Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
• Energy Balance: total and per energy.
• Congo Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Congo energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO₂ emissions (from fuel combustion).
