Total energy consumption per capita peaked in 2008 at around 3 toe per capita and has been following a decreasing trend since then reaching 2.6 toe in 2016.
Following the electricity crisis and a peak of 4 500 kWh in 2007, electricity consumption per capita decreased and stands at 3 700 ...
Conventional production of crude oil is marginal (8 000 bbl/d in 2016). Most of the oil production comes from synthetic fuels (185 000 bbl/d). Total oil production was 5.8 Mt in 2016.
The country has a refining capacity of approximately 560 000 bbl/d, with four refineries: Chevref (110 ...
Since 2010, oil product consumption increased at the regular pace of about 3.7%/year, before declining to 26 Mt in 2016. Transport absorbs about 66% of that consumption.

Gas consumption increased rapidly between 2000 and 2010 although with strong fluctuations; its level has stabilized since then, at around 5 bcm. Gas is mainly used for the synthetic production of gasoline (about 60% of gas consumption).

Between 2000 and 2008, coal consumption increased by 3%/year, on average, reaching a peak of 200 Mt in 2008. Since then, it has remained slightly below 200 Mt (194 Mt in 2016). Approximately 2/3 of the coal is consumed by power plants.

Electricity consumption stopped increasing in 2007: at 205 TWh in 2016, it is still below its 2007 level of 219 TWh. It increased at a regular rate of 2%/year, on average, between 2000 and 2007, but during the power crisis (2007-2009) it decreased by 6%. Industry is the main electricity consumer...
In 2003 the Government published a "White Paper on Renewable Energy" which set a production target of 10 TWh from renewables in 2013. The objective was only reached in 2015 (7.7 TWh, incl. hydro).
The Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Programme (REIPPP) consists...
