Total energy consumption is growing rapidly (+5%/year, on average since 2013, including + 16% in 2023) and reached 6.2 Mtoe in 2023, almost 2.6 times its 2000 level. The Yakaar-Teranga natural gas field, located offshore Senegal, is developed by Kosmos Energy (90%).
Large gas resources were discovered in the Grand Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) gas field in 2014 between Senegal and Mauritania, that are estimated to hold around 425 bcm of gas (15 Tcf). The governments of Senegal and Mauritania signed an agreement in 2018 to equally split resources, taxes, and revenues.
The Yakaar-Teranga natural gas field, located offshore Senegal, is developed by Kosmos Energy (90%). In 2023, BP sold its 60% stake in the project to Kosmos Energy, following a disagreement with the government on the use of this gas (export for BP vs domestic market for the government).
TotalEnergies has the largest service station network. Oil account for 70% of the power mix. Oil production, with an output of 100 kb/d, started in June 2024. First gas production from the large gas field of Grand Tortue Ahmeyim started in January 2025. The government pledged to end energy subsidies in 2025.
