The Energy Transition Index 2026 tracks energy transition progress across 120 countries, measuring both how energy systems perform today and whether the conditions for future progress are in place.

After several years of slow momentum, energy transition progress has accelerated, according to the World Economic Forum's Fostering Effective Energy Transition 2025 report. The Energy Transition Index (ETI), which benchmarks 118 countries on their current energy system performance and on the readiness of their enabling environment, finds improvements in energy equity and sustainability driven by easing energy prices, subsidy reforms, lower energy and emission intensity and increased share of clean energy. However, energy security has made more limited progress, and transition readiness momentum has slowed. Meanwhile, global energy systems are facing increasing pressure from climate change, geopolitical, economic and technological disruptions.

This report discusses the key findings from the Energy Transition Index 2021. This 10th-anniversary report is the opportunity to reflect and ask the question of whether the energy transition is resilient and if the momentum is sufficient.

The world’s energy transition has made slow and steady progress over the past five years, but the COVID-19 crisis risks derailing long-term progress. Will recovery and the shifting global energy order shape new opportunities for picking up the pace?

The report benchmarks countries on energy performance and readiness, emphasizing the need to accelerate the transition across economic, security, and sustainability dimensions.

The report introduces the Energy Transition Index (ETI) to benchmark 114 countries on energy access, affordability, and sustainability, stressing the need for cross-sector collaboration.

The Global Energy Architecture Performance Index Report 2017 benchmarks the energy systems of 127 countries, tracking progress toward more sustainable, affordable, and secure energy.

The report highlights ongoing challenges in the energy sector, including shifts in prices, production, and geopolitical instability, while revisiting key trends in economic growth, sustainability, and energy security.

The report highlights energy sector challenges and introduces the Energy Architecture Performance Index (EAPI) to guide energy system decisions.

The report examines transition pathways, highlighting the impact of regional factors on energy systems, and acknowledges contributions from the International Energy Agency (IEA) and various stakeholders.

The report introduces the Energy Architecture Performance Index (EAPI) to benchmark countries' energy transitions, focusing on economic, environmental, and security goals tailored to each nation's needs.
