Why This Ranking Matters
Examining Electricity Access across all countries reveals patterns that might not be obvious at the national level. Regional clusters, outlier nations, and historical trajectories all become clearer when the full global picture is assembled in a single ranking.
Global Range
Values range from 5.40% (South Sudan) to 100% (Andorra) — a 19-fold difference across 214 countries.
Regional Patterns
European countries lead with 9 entries in the top 20, though representation spans multiple continents. Regional factors clearly play a role, but outliers from other parts of the world show that national policy and geography matter as much as continental trends.
Values are tightly clustered around the median of 100%, with most countries falling within a narrow range. A few outliers at the extremes account for most of the overall spread.
Notable Outliers
The top of the ranking is competitive: Andorra and United Arab Emirates are separated by only 0%, indicating that the leading positions could shift with updated data. The bottom five countries are all from Africa, pointing to regional challenges that affect electricity access across the continent.
