2017, as ESMAP’s 2024 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

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.

RISE Energy Efficiency Policy Score, 2017 covers 140 countries on 10 measures. Germany is highest, at 88.33; Liberia is lowest, at 0.00. The middle country reads 31.83. Against 2016, 81 values changed (81 up, 0 down), the same countries are covered.
