2012, as ESMAP’s 2024 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

It is published by the World Bank's Energy Sector Management Assistance Program.
RISE Electricity Access Policy Score, 2012 covers 56 countries on 6 measures. Ghana is highest, at 55.7406; Sierra Leone is lowest, at 0.0000. The middle country reads 16.3441. Against 2011, 8 values changed (8 up, 0 down), the same countries are covered.

Read before you use
One year of the 2024 release
Every year in this series comes from ESMAP’s 2024 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 2012.
Nothing missing
Every one of the 56 countries has every column.
