Pelaxia consumes the third-most amount of energy generated in all of Sarpedon. It is also a major producer of oil and gas in the region as well as the second-largest generator of hydroelectric energy. The government agencies and state-owned companies responsible for carrying out the nation's energy policy are the [[Ministry of Natural Resources and Energy (Pelaxia)|Ministry of Natural Resources and Energy]], the [[Federal Energy Commission]], the [[Federal Resources Commission]], the [[Federal Renewables Commission]], [[PETROPEL]], and [[HYDROPEL]]. The latter two are considered to be among the largest electric companies in Sarpedon due to their ubiquity and usage.


Pelaxia is the 3rd largest energy consumer in Sarpedon. At the same time, it is an important oil and gas producer in the region and the world's second largest hydropower producer. The government agencies responsible for energy policy are the Ministry of Petroleum, Mining and Energy, the National Agency for Public Energy(ANEP), the National Commision of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels and the National Agency for Alternative Energy Development. State-owned companies [[PETROPEL]] and [[HYDROPEL]] are the major players in Pelaxia's energy sector, as well as Sarpedon’s.
Pelaxia's energy generation is considered to be one of the least "green" in the Occident, with the percentage of energy generated by renewables, twenty-five percent, being less than the world average of thirty-four percent. Fossil fuels make up 55.5% (42.3% from oil; 12.2% from {{wp|natural gas}}; 1% from {{wp|coal}}) of all energy generated, with hydroelectricity being a relatively close second at 35.4% of all energy generated. Asides from the "big two", there is energy that is generated from {{wp|sugar cane}} derivatives at eight percent, {{wp|firewood}} and {{wp|charcoal}} at 2.1%, various forms of {{wp|renewable energy}} at 1.3%, nuclear energy at 0.4%, and other non-renewable forms of energy at 0.2%.
 
The main characteristic of the Pelaxian energy matrix is that it is much less renewable than that of the world. While in 2029 the world matrix was only 34% made up of renewable energy, Pelaxia's was at 25%. Petroleum and oil products made up 42..3% of the matrix; hydraulic energy, 35.4%; sugar cane derivatives, 8%; natural gas, 12.2%; firewood and charcoal, 2,1%; varied renewable energies, 1.3%; mineral coal, 1%; nuclear, 0.4%, and other non-renewable energies, 0.2%.
 
In the electric energy matrix, the difference between Pelaxia and the world is less. The Pelaxian electric matrix is composed of: hydroelectric energy, 64.9%; biomass, 8.4%; wind energy, 8.6%; solar electric, 1%; natural gas, 9.3%; oil products, 2%; nuclear, 2.5%; coal and derivatives, 3.3%.
