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%, instead of 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 an increase in the net called energy volume of 7%, 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 an increase of 4.6% the previous year, thus recording a record growth level compared to the last twenty-eight years.
This development is mainly due to the consolidated growth of energy sales to distributors (+93.9%) and those of “Very high, high, and medium voltage, excluding distributors” (+55.3%), primarily 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.
