The energy grid meets the country's power demands using 40% fossil fuels while 35% is satisfied through hydroelectric power, and it has been called an "early leader" in hydroelectric energy. Most of these hydroelectric installations are located in the northern region of the country, a region historically crippled by an increasing population and thus a steady high demand for power which has led to seasonal major power outages in the most populated urban centers. Pelaxian roads are the primary carriers of freight and passenger traffic. The road system totaled 2,720,000 km in 2029.The total of paved roads increased from 60,496 km in 1967 to 515,000 km in 2028. | The energy grid meets the country's power demands using 40% fossil fuels while 35% is satisfied through hydroelectric power, and it has been called an "early leader" in hydroelectric energy.

Pelaxia is the 3th 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 PELHYDRO are the major players in Pelaxia's energy sector, as well as Sarpedon’s. | |||
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%. | |||
