2013, as ESMAP’s 2024 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten
The RISE electricity access score rates the laws, plans and regulations a country has for bringing electricity to people who lack it — national electrification planning, rules for the grid, for mini-grids and for solar home systems, and measures to keep power affordable — on a scale of 0 to 100. It is published by the World Bank's Energy Sector Management Assistance Program.
RISE Electricity Access Policy Score, 2013 covers 56 countries on 6 measures. Ghana is highest, at 55.741; Sierra Leone is lowest, at 0.000. The middle country reads 17.411. Against 2012, 11 values changed (11 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 2013.
Nothing missing
Every one of the 56 countries has every column.
