In 2023, Venezuela held 195 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of reserves, making up 73% of 's total. Most of this gas is associated with crude oil, with 80% produced as a . Despite these vast reserves, much of Venezuela's natural gas is underutilized, used to support mature oil fields or flared due to inadequate infrastructure. Production peaked at 1.12 Tcf in 2001 but fell to 563 billion cubic feet (Bcf) by 2021, hampered by poor investment and lack of. [pdf]
Venezuela relies heavily on domestic production of fossil fuels, with oil and natural gas comprising approximately 90% of the country's total energy supply. Hydro power also plays a key role in electricity generation, accounting for roughly half of installed capacity.
of electric energy per year. Per capita this is an average of 2,769 kWh. Venezuela can completely be self-sufficient with domestically produced energy. The total production of all electric energy producing facilities is 105 bn kWh, also 135 percent of own requirements.
In comparison to oil and natural gas, coal plays a minor role in Venezuela’s energy mix, accounting for 0.2% of total energy production and 0.1% of total energy consumption. Venezuela's coal industry has faced challenges such as outdated infrastructure and limited investment, which has affected production.
Venezuela's restrictive economic policies (Figure 3) have resulted in a decrease in inflation-adjusted GDP per capita, which has led to a decrease in energy consumption (Figure 4). Venezuela has the refining capacity to meet its domestic demand, but the country’s refineries are in poor condition.
Venezuela’s energy sector has lost much of its capacity to collect and use natural gas, preferring instead to burn it off. Venezuela’s government regulates natural gas prices, and concerns exist about the pricing structure and regulations for this market.
As of April 2022, Venezuela's electrical grid was said to be operating at 20% of capacity, with actual generation running 6 GW to 10 GW short of the country's needs, and an estimated investment of US$12 to 15 billion required to restore the system to normal operating conditions.

Algeria primarily relies on for energy generation, with nearly 97% of its derived from these sources. The country has seen significant growth in its electricity capacity, which nearly doubled from 2011 to 2020, mainly due to the addition of more efficient natural gas-fired and combined-cycle gas turbine plants. However, Algeria is also aiming to increase its capacity to 15 GW by 2035, starting with a solicitation for bids to i. [pdf]
The energy strategy of Algeria is based on the acceleration of the development of solar energy. The government plans launching several solar photovoltaic projects with a total capacity of 800 MWp by 2020. Other projects with an annual capacity of 200 MWp are to be achieved over the 2021–2030 period .
Algeria’s geographical position near Europe provides an advantage for energy exports, particularly to Mediterranean countries. Aligning with global sustainability goals, the Algerian Ministry of Energy and Mines has set targets for electricity generation, aiming for 40% from renewable sources by 2030.
Algeria has created a green momentum by launching an ambitious programme to develop RE and promote energy efficiency. This programme leans on a strategy focussed on developing and expanding the use of inexhaustible resources, such as solar energy in order to diversify energy sources and prepares Algeria of tomorrow.
Algeria is endowed with large reserves of energy sources, mainly hydrocarbons and a considerable potential for the utilisation of RE sources especially with respect to solar energy. Algeria has the potential to be one of the major contributors in solar energy and become a role model to other countries in the world.
Algeria’s energy transition plan consists of three structural components - a new government ministry, a regulatory reform, and a new national renewable energy company. • Ministry of Energy Transition and Renewable Energies (METRE): In June 2020, the government created METRE, the first of two new bodies to manage and carry out the transition plan.
National wind energy potential onshore is rated as low, although the Algerian coastline measures 1200 km. However, in the early 2000s, CDER collected wind data from 75 locations distributed all over Algeria for a 5 year period and the results show that climatic conditions in Algeria are favourable for wind energy utilisation.

The RES Group (Renewable Energy Systems) is the world's largest independent company, having been in the sector for more than 40 years. As of 2023 , the company had established more than 23 gigawatts of renewable energy projects worldwide and supported more than 12 gigawatts operations. Employing more than 2500 people in 14 countries, it operates onshore and in wind and , in energy storage and in transmission and distrib. [pdf]
