RISE Energy Efficiency Policy Score

14 years, 2010–2023 · 140 countries · 10 measures

The RISE energy efficiency score rates the policies and regulations a country has in place to make energy use more efficient — from national targets and building codes to appliance standards, labels and financing — on a scale of 0 to 100. It is published by the World Bank's Energy Sector Management Assistance Program and measures the rulebook, not the result.

This site holds every year from 2010 to 2023, read from ESMAP’s own data and stored exactly as published.

Precision

The headline is stored to 16 decimals, as published.

Rounded by this site

Never. Tables on screen may show fewer decimals; the files never do.

Changed by this site

Reshaped into one row per country: regional and income-group totals are left out, only the columns listed are kept, each row gets its ISO 3166 code, and some country names are brought to one spelling. No value is recalculated, rescaled or rounded.

From World Bank Data360 (RISE), the 2024 edition's annual series. RISE's overall score is not used: it averages a different number of pillars for different countries.
