The production of electrical energy at the national level increased by 6.7% at the end of the first month of 2025, after a 9.4% improvement a year earlier, according to the Directorate of Studies and Financial Forecasts (DEPF) under the Ministry of Economy and Finance.
This growth was driven by a 9.6% increase in private electricity production and a 1.1% increase from the National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE), explains the DEPF in its recent economic note.
The production of renewable energies related to law 13-09, on the other hand, decreased by 3.5%, compared to an increase of 31.5% at the end of January 2024.
Regarding the exchanges of the electrical energy sector with abroad, the imported volume increased by 14.4% last January, after a decrease of 21.8% a year earlier.
As for the exported volume, it decreased by 43.6%, in a context of a 7% increase in the net energy called volume, marking the highest increase recorded in the last 12 years.
Concerning the consumption of electrical energy, it strengthened at the end of the first month of 2025 by 16.7%, after a 4.6% increase the previous year, thus recording a record growth level compared to the last twenty-eight years.
This evolution is due, in particular, to the consolidated growth of energy sales to distributors (+93.9%) and those of “Very high, high, and medium voltage, excluding distributors” (+55.3%), mainly used by the manufacturing sector.
As for the consumption of medium voltage energy and low voltage energy, they decreased by 66.4% and 58.9% respectively at the end of January 2025.
