Rapporten tegner et samlet overblik over 111 landes adgang til energi, energieffektivitet og vedvarende energi og når frem til, at Danmark har de bedste rammebetingelser i verden.
På en score fra 1-100 får Danmark 100 i ”adgang til energi”, 86 i ”energieffektivitet” og 94 i ”vedvarende energi”. Det rækker til en førsteplads med 94 point. I bunden ligger det kaos- og tørkeramte Somalia som den absolutte agterlanterne. Se ranglisten på

WASHINGTON, February 15, 2017 (World Bank): The top countries in the developing world are emerging as leaders in sustainable energy, with robust policies to support energy access, renewables and energy efficiency, according to the new World Bank Report.
But there is huge room for improvement across every region in the world and particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, says the report, entitled RISE (Regulatory Indicators for Sustainable Energy).
While many of the countries surveyed in RISE have embraced the sustainable energy agenda, the report identifies important policy gaps across all regions, and highlights opportunities for rapid progress.
Afrika halter langt efter
SubSaharan Africa is the world’s least electrified continent, where 600 million people still live without electricity. As many as 40 percent of Sub-Saharan African countries surveyed by RISE have barely taken any of the policy measures needed to accelerate energy access, compared to less than 10 percent of Asian countries.
Exceptions include Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda which have strong policy frameworks (og er gamle samarbejdslande i dansk udviklingsbistand, red.).
RISE is the first global policy scorecard of its kind, grading 111 countries in three areas: energy access, energy efficiency and renewable energy.
The report is aimed at helping governments assess if they have a policy and regulatory framework in place to drive progress on sustainable energy and pinpoints where more can be done to attract private investments.
The report was produced as a contribution to Sustainable Energy for All
Rachel Kyte, CEO and Special Representative to the UN Secretary-General on Sustainable Energy for All, said: “The world is in a race to secure a clean energy transition – one that will deliver energy services for everyone, create jobs, ensure health care and education, and allow economies to grow. Increased use of renewable energy is a key element in that transition.”
She added: “RISE offers policymakers and investors the most detailed country-level insight yet into how we can level the playing field for renewable energy worldwide. Smart policy can accelerate this transition.”
