Electricity and Power
As of January 2004, Chad had 30 megawatts (MW) of installed
electricity generating capacity, of which 100 percent was
conventional thermal. In 2004, the country generated 0.09 billion
kilowatthours (Bkwh) of electricity, while consuming 0.09 Bkwh.
Generation and consumption of electricity in Chad have increased by
22 percent in the last 20 years. The small increase is due to a
lack of investment in the electricity sector. Only a small portion
(2 percent) of Chad’s population has access to electricity. The
vast majority of Chadians rely on biomass fuels, such as wood and
animal dung. ON 84 cities in Chad , only 16 have a reliable
network.
Generation and distribution of electricity in Chad are handled by
the state-run Société Tchadienne d’Eau et d’Electricité (STEE).
Conventional thermal capacity comprises all of Chad’s power
supply. Four generators, which are fueled by oil imported from
Nigeria and Cameroon, make up the country’s only major power
station (22 MW). The plant is located in N’Djamena, where
approximately nine percent of households have electricity. The high
cost of importing petroleum to fuel power generation makes Chad’s
electricity prices among the highest in the world. World Bank loans
to develop the electricity sector have focused on sustainable
energy ($5.3 million) and equipment refurbishment ($55
million).
Additional efforts to increase electricity generation in Chad have
not made much progress. Attempts to utilize oil from the Sedigi
field in electricity generation have been unsuccessful, partly due
to a malfunctioning pipeline between Sedigi and N’Djamena. In the
short-term, both Libya and France have provided generators to
increase Chadian electricity supply, and Libya has offered to
export electricity to the country.
According to Oil and Gas Journal (OGJ), Chad had proven oil reserves of 1.5 billion barrels as of January 2006. International oil companies first discovered oil in the early 1970s in southern Chad in the Doba and Lake Chad basins. Industry experts still consider Chad under-explored, with a high probability of locating new reserves in the future. In 2006, Chad produced approximately 170,000 barrels per day (bbl/d) of oil and is a net exporter of petroleum, since the country only consumed approximately 25,000 bbl/d of oil in 2006. Oil exported from landlocked Chad is transported via the Chad-Cameroon pipeline, which ends at Cameroon’s Kribi terminal. Chad has no proven natural gas reserves, and it neither produces natural gas nor consumes natural gas.

Electricity in Chad is produced by 4 old thermal plants, exclusively using imported fuel. Production is way under the population’s demand. Chad has a big potential in wind-powered electricity but not experimented yet. Gauthiot Falls, in southern Chad, offers also a good potential for hydroelectric production, estimated around 24 to 45 GWh by year. Not used yet. Gasoil is entirely imported from Cameroon and Nigeria. Distribution network is very limited and mainly composed of 3 networks that are not interconnected in N’Djamena, Shar Mouduo and Abeche. In 2002, Chad had approx 19 171 subscribers to STEE (75 % in N’djamena). Daily supply is often interrupted. Electricity cost is extremely high due to imported fuel and difficulty to supply from Cameroon and Nigeria. All humanitarian actors use generator in order to avoid lack of electricity
