Energy consumption in Azerbaijan

The most important figure in the energy balance of Azerbaijan is the total consumption of

20.24 billion kWh

of electric energy per year. Per capita this is an average of 1,995 kWh.
Azerbaijan could provide itself completely with self-produced energy. The total production of all electric energy producing facilities is 24 bn kWh, which is 116% of the countries own usage. Despite this, Azerbaijan is trading energy with foreign countries. Along with pure consumptions the production, imports and exports play an important role. Other energy sources such as natural gas or crude oil are also used.

Energy Balance

Electricity	total	Azerbaijan per capita	USA per capita
Own consumption	20.24 bn kWh	1,995.03 kWh	11,756.77 kWh
Production	23.57 bn kWh	2,323.26 kWh	12,338.29 kWh
Import	114.00 m kWh	11.24 kWh	219.11 kWh
Export	265.00 m kWh	26.12 kWh	29.21 kWh
100.0% of the country's population (as of 2020) has access to electricity.
Crude Oil	Barrel/day	Azerbaijan per capita	USA per capita
Production	798,000.00 bbl	0.079 bbl	0.033 bbl
Export	718,800.00 bbl	0.071 bbl	0.003 bbl
In 2018 there were still 7.00 bn barrels of recoverable but not yet used crude oil reserves in the currently known deposits of Azerbaijan. Worldwide, there are still proved oil reserves totaling around 1,620 bn billion barrels. Azerbaijan therefore has a share of 0.432% and ranks 18th out of 98 countries with crude oil reserves.
Natural Gas	Cubic meters	Azerbaijan per capita	USA per capita
Own consumption	10.34 bn m³	1,019.20 m³	2,312.79 m³
Production	16.96 bn m³	1,671.72 m³	2,328.46 m³
Import	2.10 bn m³	206.50 m³	259.57 m³
Export	8.04 bn m³	792.69 m³	270.27 m³

Production capacities per energy source

The given production capacities for electric energy have a theoretical value, which could only be obtainable under ideal conditions. They are measuring the generatable amount of energy, that would be reached under permanent and full use of all capacities of all power plants.
In practice this isn't possible, because e.g. solar collectors are less efficient unter clouds. Also wind- and water-power plants are not always operating under full load. All these values are only useful in relation to other energy sources or countries.

Fossil fuels	57.95 bn kWh	84,0 %	70,0 %	5,712.52 kWh	20,083.19 kWh

Usage of renewable energies

Renewable energies include wind, solar, biomass and geothermal energy sources. This means all energy sources that renew themselves within a short time or are permanently available. Energy from hydropower is only partly a renewable energy. This is certainly the case with river or tidal power plants. Otherwise, numerous dams or reservoirs also produce mixed forms, e.g. by pumping water into their reservoirs at night and recovering energy from them during the day when there is an increased demand for electricity. Since it is not possible to clearly determine the amount of generated energy, all energies from hydropower are displayed separately.
In 2019, renewable energies accounted for around 1.6 percent of actual total consumption in Azerbaijan. The following chart shows the percentage share from 1990 to 2019:
