National electricity production rose by 8% at end-February 2026 to 3,016 GWh (including renewable self-generation), up from 2,798 GWh a year earlier, according to the Energy and Mines Observatory.
Output for the local market increased by 2%, while electricity imports—mainly from Algeria—covered 9% of domestic demand over the same period.
STEG continued to dominate generation, accounting for 93% of national electricity production, while renewables made up 6.4%.
Installed photovoltaic capacity reached about 444 MW in the residential sector and 113 MW across medium- and high-voltage networks in the industrial, tertiary, and agricultural sectors.
Electricity sales rose by 3% year-on-year to end-February 2026. High-voltage sales declined by 11%, while medium-voltage sales increased by 2%.
Low-voltage sales, largely driven by households (around 75% on average), are difficult to assess precisely due to bimonthly billing and estimation methods.
Industry remains the largest consumer, accounting for 62% of demand from high- and medium-voltage clients.
Several sectors saw declining sales, notably basic metallurgy (-5%), extractive industries (-4%), paper and publishing (-2%), and water pumping and sanitation services (-2%).
